Hello!
The most clear method to solve this is to denote the variables and to solve the system of equations that occurs. This system is simple!
Let be the amount of dollars Soumik have, and
that Kofi have. "Soumik has
less than his friend Kofi" gives us the equation
and "they have altogether" gives the equation
Substitute from the first equation to the second and get
thus
and finally
Recall that and find
The answer: Soumik has $46.25 and Kofi has $51.25.
