Answer:

John has $21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let John's "wealth" be w.  Then 2w+8 = 50, or 2w = 42, or w = 21.

John has $21.  Eight more than twice this is 42+8 = 50, as expected.
First,Julie has 50 dollars,that’s 8 more than twice what John has.So John must have 50-8 divided by 2.We do 50-8 first because we are not using bedlam’s for this question.50-8 is 42.42 divided by 2 is 21.So John must have 21 dollars.



Checking:
21x2 is 42.42+8 is 50
