Glen has $8. Tommy has $4
i more than Glen. Warren has $2
i less than Tommy.
- Find the amount of money that Warren has in terms of i.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of i.
- If i = 7, how much does Warren have?
(a)
Amount that Glen has = $8
Amount that Tommy has = $(8 + 4
i)
Amount that Warren has
= 8 + 4
i - 2
i = $(8 + 2
i)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 8 + 8 + 4
i + 8 + 2
i= 8 + 8 + 8 + 4
i + 2
i = $(24 + 6
i)
(c)
Amount that Warren has
= 8 + 2
i= 8 + 2 x 7
= 8 + 14
= $22
Answer(s): (a) $(8 + 2
i) or $(2
i + 8); (b) $(24 + 6
i) or $(6
i + 24); (c) $22
