A jar of peanut butter and a jar of jam cost $10.20 in total. the jar of peanut butter costs $10.00 more than the jar of jam. how much does the jar of jam cost

Well this is pretty simple. So the first thought is that the peanut butter would be 10$ and the jam would be 0.20$, however, the peanut butter would not be 10$ more. Instead, subtract the 10$ from the total, which gives you 0.20$, and then divide that by two. Now you have 0.10$ for each, along with another 10$ for the peanut butter. The peanut butter would be $10.10, and the jam would be 0.10$ (that's pretty cheap!).
