Ahmad has $11. Cody has $5
t more than Ahmad. Jenson has $2
t less than Cody.
- Find the amount of money that Jenson 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 Jenson have?
(a)
Amount that Ahmad has = $11
Amount that Cody has = $(11 + 5
t)
Amount that Jenson has
= 11 + 5
t - 2
t = $(11 + 3
t)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 11 + 11 + 5
t + 11 + 3
t= 11 + 11 + 11 + 5
t + 3
t = $(33 + 8
t)
(c)
Amount that Jenson has
= 11 + 3
t= 11 + 3 x 6
= 11 + 18
= $29
Answer(s): (a) $(11 + 3
t) or $(3
t + 11); (b) $(33 + 8
t) or $(8
t + 33); (c) $29
