Lui has $14. Billy has $4
c more than Lui. Flynn has $2
c less than Billy.
- Find the amount of money that Flynn has in terms of c.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of c.
- If c = 6, how much does Flynn have?
(a)
Amount that Lui has = $14
Amount that Billy has = $(14 + 4
c)
Amount that Flynn has
= 14 + 4
c - 2
c = $(14 + 2
c)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 14 + 14 + 4
c + 14 + 2
c= 14 + 14 + 14 + 4
c + 2
c = $(42 + 6
c)
(c)
Amount that Flynn has
= 14 + 2
c= 14 + 2 x 6
= 14 + 12
= $26
Answer(s): (a) $(14 + 2
c) or $(2
c + 14); (b) $(42 + 6
c) or $(6
c + 42); (c) $26
