Answer:

  • Family 1:  $1.850
  • Family 2: $1.350

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total monthly payment is 3200, so if we call Pa (family A`s payment) and Pb (Family B's payment) the payments:

  • Pa+Pb=3200
  • also, Pa = Pb+500

So if we replace Pa in the first ecuation:

  • Pb+500+Pb=3200
  • 2Pb= 3200-500
  • Pb=2700/2= $1.350

then Pa+Pb=3200 => Pa= 3200-1350= $1.850

Good Luck!
