Solution: Given: Average pocket money of Jamie and Carrie = \\(\\$11\\) Jamie has \\(\\$4\\) less than Carrie Step 1: Find total pocket money Total = Average × Number of people Total = 11 × 2 = 22 Step 2: Set up the relationship Let Carrie's pocket money = 1 unit Jamie's pocket money = 1 unit − 4 Step 3: Form equation Carrie + Jamie = 22 1 unit + (1 unit − 4) = 22 2 units − 4 = 22 2 units = 26 1 unit = 13 Step 4: Find Jamie's pocket money Carrie = 1 unit = \\(\\$13\\) Jamie = 13 − 4 = \\(\\$9\\) Step 5: Verify Jamie + Carrie = 9 + 13 = 22 ✓ Average = 22 ÷ 2 = 11 ✓ Difference = 13 − 9 = 4 ✓ Answer: Jamie gets \\(\\$9\\) each week"
