Ivan has $11. Jenson has $4
m more than Ivan. Jeremy has $2
m less than Jenson.
- Find the amount of money that Jeremy has in terms of m.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of m.
- If m = 6, how much does Jeremy have?
(a)
Amount that Ivan has = $11
Amount that Jenson has = $(11 + 4
m)
Amount that Jeremy has
= 11 + 4
m - 2
m = $(11 + 2
m)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 11 + 11 + 4
m + 11 + 2
m= 11 + 11 + 11 + 4
m + 2
m = $(33 + 6
m)
(c)
Amount that Jeremy has
= 11 + 2
m= 11 + 2 x 6
= 11 + 12
= $23
Answer(s): (a) $(11 + 2
m) or $(2
m + 11); (b) $(33 + 6
m) or $(6
m + 33); (c) $23
