Fabian has $11. Vaidev has $4
p more than Fabian. Warren has $2
p less than Vaidev.
- Find the amount of money that Warren has in terms of p.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of p.
- If p = 5, how much does Warren have?
(a)
Amount that Fabian has = $11
Amount that Vaidev has = $(11 + 4
p)
Amount that Warren has
= 11 + 4
p - 2
p = $(11 + 2
p)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 11 + 11 + 4
p + 11 + 2
p= 11 + 11 + 11 + 4
p + 2
p = $(33 + 6
p)
(c)
Amount that Warren has
= 11 + 2
p= 11 + 2 x 5
= 11 + 10
= $21
Answer(s): (a) $(11 + 2
p) or $(2
p + 11); (b) $(33 + 6
p) or $(6
p + 33); (c) $21
