Asher has $9. Harry has $4
g more than Asher. Vincent has $2
g less than Harry.
- Find the amount of money that Vincent has in terms of g.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of g.
- If g = 7, how much does Vincent have?
(a)
Amount that Asher has = $9
Amount that Harry has = $(9 + 4
g)
Amount that Vincent has
= 9 + 4
g - 2
g = $(9 + 2
g)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 9 + 9 + 4
g + 9 + 2
g= 9 + 9 + 9 + 4
g + 2
g = $(27 + 6
g)
(c)
Amount that Vincent has
= 9 + 2
g= 9 + 2 x 7
= 9 + 14
= $23
Answer(s): (a) $(9 + 2
g) or $(2
g + 9); (b) $(27 + 6
g) or $(6
g + 27); (c) $23
