Harry has $10. Jeremy has $5
t more than Harry. Ahmad has $2
t less than Jeremy.
- Find the amount of money that Ahmad has in terms of t.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of t.
- If t = 6, how much does Ahmad have?
(a)
Amount that Harry has = $10
Amount that Jeremy has = $(10 + 5
t)
Amount that Ahmad has
= 10 + 5
t - 2
t = $(10 + 3
t)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 10 + 10 + 5
t + 10 + 3
t= 10 + 10 + 10 + 5
t + 3
t = $(30 + 8
t)
(c)
Amount that Ahmad has
= 10 + 3
t= 10 + 3 x 6
= 10 + 18
= $28
Answer(s): (a) $(10 + 3
t) or $(3
t + 10); (b) $(30 + 8
t) or $(8
t + 30); (c) $28
