During the 2010 season, football player McGee's earnings, m, were

0.005 million dollars more than those of his teammate Fitzpatrick's

earnings, f. The two players earned a total of 3.95 million dollars.

Which system of equations could be used to determine the amount

each player earned, in millions of dollars?

(1) m + f = 3.95 (3) f - 3.95 = m

m + 0.005 = f m + 0.005 = f

(2) m - 3.95 = f (4) m + f = 3.95

f + 0.005 = m f + 0.005 = m

    Fitzpatrick's earnings = f

    McGee's earnings = f + 0.005

    Fitzpatrick + McGee = 3.95 million

    f + m = 3.95

    f + (f + 0.005) = 3.95

    2f = 3.95 - 0.005

    2f = 3.945

    2f / 2 = 3.945/2

    f = 1.9725 million dollars

    McGee's earnings = f + 0.005 = 1.9725 + 0.005 = 1.9775 million dollars

    To check:

    f + m = 3.95

    1.9725 + 1.9775 = 3.95

    3.95 = 3.95
