Charlie has $9. Caden has $5
h more than Charlie. Riordan has $2
h less than Caden.
- Find the amount of money that Riordan has in terms of h.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of h.
- If h = 7, how much does Riordan have?
(a)
Amount that Charlie has = $9
Amount that Caden has = $(9 + 5
h)
Amount that Riordan has
= 9 + 5
h - 2
h = $(9 + 3
h)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 9 + 9 + 5
h + 9 + 3
h= 9 + 9 + 9 + 5
h + 3
h = $(27 + 8
h)
(c)
Amount that Riordan has
= 9 + 3
h= 9 + 3 x 7
= 9 + 21
= $30
Answer(s): (a) $(9 + 3
h) or $(3
h + 9); (b) $(27 + 8
h) or $(8
h + 27); (c) $30
