Brandon has $11. Jeremy has $5
e more than Brandon. Andy has $2
e less than Jeremy.
- Find the amount of money that Andy has in terms of e.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of e.
- If e = 4, how much does Andy have?
(a)
Amount that Brandon has = $11
Amount that Jeremy has = $(11 + 5
e)
Amount that Andy has
= 11 + 5
e - 2
e = $(11 + 3
e)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 11 + 11 + 5
e + 11 + 3
e= 11 + 11 + 11 + 5
e + 3
e = $(33 + 8
e)
(c)
Amount that Andy has
= 11 + 3
e= 11 + 3 x 4
= 11 + 12
= $23
Answer(s): (a) $(11 + 3
e) or $(3
e + 11); (b) $(33 + 8
e) or $(8
e + 33); (c) $23
