Simon has $10. Oliver has $4
w more than Simon. Fabian has $2
w less than Oliver.
- Find the amount of money that Fabian has in terms of w.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of w.
- If w = 4, how much does Fabian have?
(a)
Amount that Simon has = $10
Amount that Oliver has = $(10 + 4
w)
Amount that Fabian has
= 10 + 4
w - 2
w = $(10 + 2
w)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 10 + 10 + 4
w + 10 + 2
w= 10 + 10 + 10 + 4
w + 2
w = $(30 + 6
w)
(c)
Amount that Fabian has
= 10 + 2
w= 10 + 2 x 4
= 10 + 8
= $18
Answer(s): (a) $(10 + 2
w) or $(2
w + 10); (b) $(30 + 6
w) or $(6
w + 30); (c) $18
