An inheritance of $33000 will be divided between sisters hannah and taylor. if hannah is to receive $1000 less than taylor, how much does each sister receive?
Total amount of money is 33000 There are two recipients of the money, and one is getting 1000 more than the other Let H = Hannah Let T = Taylor T + H = 33000 Since Taylor is getting 1000 more than Hannah, T = H + 1000 So, H + (H + 1000) = 33000 2H + 1000 = 33000 2H = 32000 H = 16000 Hannah gets 16000 Taylor gets 16000 + 1000 = 17000
