Kate and Isabelle do some fundraising for their sporting team. Together they raised $600. Kate raised $272 more than Isabelle. 1. Write an equation to represent the total amount of money the girls raised. Do not include any spaces when typing your equation.

x + x - 272 = 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount raised by Kate by x and let the amount raised by Isabelle be y.

Now, we are told that Kate raised $272 more than Isabelle.

Thus, since amount raised by Kate is x, then amount raised by Isabelle is x - 272. We are told that together they raised $600.

Thus;

x + x - 272 = 600

Thus;

equation to represent the total amount of money the girls raised is;

x + x - 272 = 600
