Answer:
$76
Step-by-step explanation:
Peralta and Amy worked last winter shovelling their neighbour's driveway.
Let the amount
Peralta earns = x
Amy earns = y
Amy earned $8 more than twice the amount earned by Peralta.
y = 2x + $8
y = 2x + 8
If their earnings totalled $110,
x + y = 110
x = 110 - y
We substitute 110 - y for x
Hence:
y = 2(110 - y) + 8
y = 220 - 2y + 8
Collect like terms
y + 2y = 220 + 8
3y = 228
y = 228/3
y = 76
Since, the amount Amy earns = y
Therefore, Amy earned $76
