Rael has $14. Daniel has $4
w more than Rael. Vincent has $2
w less than Daniel.
- Find the amount of money that Vincent has in terms of w.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of w.
- If w = 5, how much does Vincent have?
(a)
Amount that Rael has = $14
Amount that Daniel has = $(14 + 4
w)
Amount that Vincent has
= 14 + 4
w - 2
w = $(14 + 2
w)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 14 + 14 + 4
w + 14 + 2
w= 14 + 14 + 14 + 4
w + 2
w = $(42 + 6
w)
(c)
Amount that Vincent has
= 14 + 2
w= 14 + 2 x 5
= 14 + 10
= $24
Answer(s): (a) $(14 + 2
w) or $(2
w + 14); (b) $(42 + 6
w) or $(6
w + 42); (c) $24
