Glen has $8. Warren has $5
c more than Glen. Ivan has $2
c less than Warren.
- Find the amount of money that Ivan has in terms of c.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of c.
- If c = 5, how much does Ivan have?
(a)
Amount that Glen has = $8
Amount that Warren has = $(8 + 5
c)
Amount that Ivan has
= 8 + 5
c - 2
c = $(8 + 3
c)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 8 + 8 + 5
c + 8 + 3
c= 8 + 8 + 8 + 5
c + 3
c = $(24 + 8
c)
(c)
Amount that Ivan has
= 8 + 3
c= 8 + 3 x 5
= 8 + 15
= $23
Answer(s): (a) $(8 + 3
c) or $(3
c + 8); (b) $(24 + 8
c) or $(8
c + 24); (c) $23
