Vincent has $16. Oscar has $4
f more than Vincent. Nick has $2
f less than Oscar.
- Find the amount of money that Nick has in terms of f.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of f.
- If f = 7, how much does Nick have?
(a)
Amount that Vincent has = $16
Amount that Oscar has = $(16 + 4
f)
Amount that Nick has
= 16 + 4
f - 2
f = $(16 + 2
f)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 16 + 16 + 4
f + 16 + 2
f= 16 + 16 + 16 + 4
f + 2
f = $(48 + 6
f)
(c)
Amount that Nick has
= 16 + 2
f= 16 + 2 x 7
= 16 + 14
= $30
Answer(s): (a) $(16 + 2
f) or $(2
f + 16); (b) $(48 + 6
f) or $(6
f + 48); (c) $30
