Billy has $12. Oscar has $5
c more than Billy. Flynn has $2
c less than Oscar.
- Find the amount of money that Flynn has in terms of c.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of c.
- If c = 4, how much does Flynn have?
(a)
Amount that Billy has = $12
Amount that Oscar has = $(12 + 5
c)
Amount that Flynn has
= 12 + 5
c - 2
c = $(12 + 3
c)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 12 + 12 + 5
c + 12 + 3
c= 12 + 12 + 12 + 5
c + 3
c = $(36 + 8
c)
(c)
Amount that Flynn has
= 12 + 3
c= 12 + 3 x 4
= 12 + 12
= $24
Answer(s): (a) $(12 + 3
c) or $(3
c + 12); (b) $(36 + 8
c) or $(8
c + 36); (c) $24
