Henry has $17. Ahmad has $4
b more than Henry. Harry has $2
b less than Ahmad.
- Find the amount of money that Harry has in terms of b.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of b.
- If b = 4, how much does Harry have?
(a)
Amount that Henry has = $17
Amount that Ahmad has = $(17 + 4
b)
Amount that Harry has
= 17 + 4
b - 2
b = $(17 + 2
b)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 17 + 17 + 4
b + 17 + 2
b= 17 + 17 + 17 + 4
b + 2
b = $(51 + 6
b)
(c)
Amount that Harry has
= 17 + 2
b= 17 + 2 x 4
= 17 + 8
= $25
Answer(s): (a) $(17 + 2
b) or $(2
b + 17); (b) $(51 + 6
b) or $(6
b + 51); (c) $25
