Question

$1,710 is shared between Mitchell and George. George's share is $30 more than
Mitchell's share.

What is Mitchell and George’s share

Answer 1

First, divide 1710 between the both of them and you get 855. Since George gets 30 more, take away 15 from Mitchell (855-15) and Mitchell has 840. Add the 15 from Mitchell to George (855+15) and George has 870. It’s always good to double check so just add theirs together to make sure it equals 1,710 and make sure George has 30 more.
