Asher has $9. Owen has $4
e more than Asher. Seth has $2
e less than Owen.
- Find the amount of money that Seth has in terms of e.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of e.
- If e = 5, how much does Seth have?
(a)
Amount that Asher has = $9
Amount that Owen has = $(9 + 4
e)
Amount that Seth has
= 9 + 4
e - 2
e = $(9 + 2
e)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 9 + 9 + 4
e + 9 + 2
e= 9 + 9 + 9 + 4
e + 2
e = $(27 + 6
e)
(c)
Amount that Seth has
= 9 + 2
e= 9 + 2 x 5
= 9 + 10
= $19
Answer(s): (a) $(9 + 2
e) or $(2
e + 9); (b) $(27 + 6
e) or $(6
e + 27); (c) $19
