Harry has $15. Henry has $5
s more than Harry. Warren has $2
s less than Henry.
- Find the amount of money that Warren has in terms of s.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of s.
- If s = 6, how much does Warren have?
(a)
Amount that Harry has = $15
Amount that Henry has = $(15 + 5
s)
Amount that Warren has
= 15 + 5
s - 2
s = $(15 + 3
s)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 15 + 15 + 5
s + 15 + 3
s= 15 + 15 + 15 + 5
s + 3
s = $(45 + 8
s)
(c)
Amount that Warren has
= 15 + 3
s= 15 + 3 x 6
= 15 + 18
= $33
Answer(s): (a) $(15 + 3
s) or $(3
s + 15); (b) $(45 + 8
s) or $(8
s + 45); (c) $33
