Melinda Spends $14.25, and Zachary spent $2.30 more than Melinda. And Heather spent 2 times as much as Zachary. How much did Heather spend.

Question

Melinda spent $14.25, Zachary spent $2.30 more.

Answer 1

Since Zachary spent $2.30 more than Melinda, then we know that Zachary spent $14.25 + 2.30 = $16.55

Now, since Heather spent 2 times what Zachary spent, then Heather spent 2 * $16.55 = $33.10
