Roshan has $2.40 and Chung has 20 cents more than Roshan. How much money do they have altogether?
- A.
$4.00
- B.
$4.80

Correct Answer
C. $5.00Explanation
Roshan has $2.40 and Chung has 20 cents more than Roshan. To find out how much money they have altogether, we need to add their amounts. If Roshan has $2.40, Chung would have $2.40 + $0.20 = $2.60. Adding these amounts together, we get $2.40 + $2.60 = $5.00. Therefore, they have $5.00 altogether.Rate this question:

What is the value of w in the equation 116 - w = 95?
- A.
W = 19
- B.
W = 21
- C.
W = 210
- D.
W = 211
Correct Answer
B. W = 21Explanation
To find the value of w in the equation 116 - w = 95, we need to isolate w on one side of the equation. By subtracting 116 from both sides, we get -w = -21. To solve for w, we multiply both sides by -1, which gives us w = 21.Rate this question:
