The sum of two numbers is 74. the larger number is 3 more than the smaller number. find the numbers.

It's 35.5 and 38.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract 74 by 3  giving you 71.

Next, divide 71 by 2; it gives you 35.5 (that's your first number).

Then, add the 3 that you took away to 35.5 and get 38.5 (that's your second number).

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
