Asher has $20. Sam has $5
g more than Asher. Lui has $2
g less than Sam.
- Find the amount of money that Lui has in terms of g.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of g.
- If g = 6, how much does Lui have?
(a)
Amount that Asher has = $20
Amount that Sam has = $(20 + 5
g)
Amount that Lui has
= 20 + 5
g - 2
g = $(20 + 3
g)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 20 + 20 + 5
g + 20 + 3
g= 20 + 20 + 20 + 5
g + 3
g = $(60 + 8
g)
(c)
Amount that Lui has
= 20 + 3
g= 20 + 3 x 6
= 20 + 18
= $38
Answer(s): (a) $(20 + 3
g) or $(3
g + 20); (b) $(60 + 8
g) or $(8
g + 60); (c) $38
