Answer:
The money do they have together is 156$
Explanation:
Let Ethan’s money be x
and we are given Jack has $26 more than Ethan so ,
Jack's money can be said to be 26 + x
Also we are given that ratio of jack’s money to that of Ethan’s is given to be 7:5
So,
[tex]\frac{x+26}{x}=\frac{7}{5}[/tex]
=> 5(x+26) = 7(x)
=> [tex]5 x+26\times 5=7 x[/tex]
=> 2x = 130
=> x = 65
So, Ethan’s money = x = 65$
and Jack’s money = x + 26
=65 + 26
= 91$
And hence they together have 65 + 91 = 156$
156$ Which is the money do they have together .
