8. Jason had $78 and Ben had $25. After Jason and Ben spent $53 altogether on some games, Jason had 3 times as much money as Ben. How much did Ben spend on the games? [3]
J [][][][ SJ ] 78
B [][ SB ] 25
$53
78 + 25 = 103
4 u -- > 103 – 53 = 50
1 u -- > 50 ÷ 4 = 12.50
25 – 12.50 = $12.50
Ben spent $12.50 on the games.
