Solution

Let's denote the amount of money Isaiah earned as I. According to the problem, Jovan earned 3312morethanIsaiah,sowecandenoteJovan′searningsasI+3312 more than Isaiah, so we can denote Jovan's earnings as I + 3312.

The problem states that together they earned $7056. So we can set up the following equation:

I + (I + 3312)=3312) = 7056

Solving this equation will give us the amount Isaiah earned. Let's do it step by step:

First, simplify the left side of the equation:

2I + 3312=3312 = 7056

Next, subtract $3312 from both sides of the equation to solve for 2I:

2I = 7056−7056 - 3312 2I = $3744

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for I:

I = 3744/2I=3744 / 2 I = 1872

So, Isaiah earned $1872.
