Brand a has recognition value of $47 more than brand b. if the total value of these two brands are $113 million, find the value of each of the brands

So a-47=b

so total value = 113 times 1,000,000=113,000,000=a+b

subtitute a-47=b into equation

a+a-47=113,000,000

add 47 to both sides

2a=113,000,047

divide both sides by 2

$56,500,023.5=a or roughly 56.5 million

a-47=b

56,500,032.5-47=b

56,499,976.5=b

so 56,500,023.5=a

56,499,976.5=b
