Wesley has $16. Glen has $5
i more than Wesley. Gabriel has $2
i less than Glen.
- Find the amount of money that Gabriel has in terms of i.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of i.
- If i = 4, how much does Gabriel have?
(a)
Amount that Wesley has = $16
Amount that Glen has = $(16 + 5
i)
Amount that Gabriel has
= 16 + 5
i - 2
i = $(16 + 3
i)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 16 + 16 + 5
i + 16 + 3
i= 16 + 16 + 16 + 5
i + 3
i = $(48 + 8
i)
(c)
Amount that Gabriel has
= 16 + 3
i= 16 + 3 x 4
= 16 + 12
= $28
Answer(s): (a) $(16 + 3
i) or $(3
i + 16); (b) $(48 + 8
i) or $(8
i + 48); (c) $28
