Answer:
Larry has $17 and Wendy has $68.
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an equation. Let's have the amount of money Larry has equal x. Since Wendy has 4 times the amount of money as Larry, the amount of money Wendy has is 4x.
Together they have $85.
This means that x + 4x = 85.
Combine like terms. 5x = 85
DIvide both sides by 5
x = 17. This means that Larry has $17. Wendy has 4x so 4 * 17. Wendy has $68.
