Answer:

Stephanie has more than $900

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the unknowns:  a for Alexandra and s for Stephanie.

Then a + s > $2,500, and a = s + $700.

Substituting the latter into the former equation, we get:

(s + $700) + s > $2,500, or

2s > $1800

Then s > $900; Stephanie has more than $900.
