State C : $30.9 Million       State D : $25.7 Million

Step-by-step explanation:

It may help to just forget about the word "million" and focus on the decimal number part,so one you get the deciaml number you can just put the word million after it as your answer.

First do 56.6 divided by 2, which equals 28.3. Since it said that State C spends 2.6 million more, you hvae to add 28.3 and 2.6 together, which also equals 30.9. So now you know State C spends $30.9 million total. In order to find out how much money State D sends, you have to do 56.6 - 30.9,which comes up to 25.7. So finnaly you know that State C spends 30.9 million dollars and State D spends 25.7 million dollars.
