Zeph has $13. Seth has $5
e more than Zeph. Harry has $2
e less than Seth.
- Find the amount of money that Harry 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 Harry have?
(a)
Amount that Zeph has = $13
Amount that Seth has = $(13 + 5
e)
Amount that Harry has
= 13 + 5
e - 2
e = $(13 + 3
e)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 13 + 13 + 5
e + 13 + 3
e= 13 + 13 + 13 + 5
e + 3
e = $(39 + 8
e)
(c)
Amount that Harry has
= 13 + 3
e= 13 + 3 x 4
= 13 + 12
= $25
Answer(s): (a) $(13 + 3
e) or $(3
e + 13); (b) $(39 + 8
e) or $(8
e + 39); (c) $25
