Daniel has $18. Rael has $4
v more than Daniel. Oliver has $2
v less than Rael.
- Find the amount of money that Oliver has in terms of v.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of v.
- If v = 4, how much does Oliver have?
(a)
Amount that Daniel has = $18
Amount that Rael has = $(18 + 4
v)
Amount that Oliver has
= 18 + 4
v - 2
v = $(18 + 2
v)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 18 + 18 + 4
v + 18 + 2
v= 18 + 18 + 18 + 4
v + 2
v = $(54 + 6
v)
(c)
Amount that Oliver has
= 18 + 2
v= 18 + 2 x 4
= 18 + 8
= $26
Answer(s): (a) $(18 + 2
v) or $(2
v + 18); (b) $(54 + 6
v) or $(6
v + 54); (c) $26
