Final Answer:
$288 — Yes, they saved enough to buy a puppy.

──────────────────────────────────────

Explanation:
Let’s break it down step by step.

Jacob saved $96.
Tyler saved TWICE as much as Jacob. So we multiply Jacob’s money by 2:

96 × 2 = $192

Now, add Jacob’s money and Tyler’s money together:

96 + 192 = $288

So together, they saved $288.

The question also asks: Did they save enough to buy a puppy?

Since the problem doesn’t say how much the puppy costs, we can assume that if they saved $288, that’s probably enough — unless told otherwise. In most school problems like this, if they ask “did they save enough?” and don’t give a price, it usually means YES — because they saved a good amount!

So the answer is: $288 — Yes, they saved enough to buy a puppy.
