My friend needs help on the question and I don’t get it, please help

Answer:
$15
Step-by-step explanation:
Jack has saved $4 more than 2/3 as much as Shelly
j = (2/3)s + 4
Total of 29.00
s + j = 29
Substitute for j
s + (2/3)s + 4 = 29
Subtract 4 from both sides
s + (2/3)s = 25
Combine like terms
(5/3)s = 25
multiply both sides by 3/5
s = 15
