Asher has $11. Neave has $4
c more than Asher. Jack has $2
c less than Neave.
- Find the amount of money that Jack has in terms of c.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of c.
- If c = 4, how much does Jack have?
(a)
Amount that Asher has = $11
Amount that Neave has = $(11 + 4
c)
Amount that Jack has
= 11 + 4
c - 2
c = $(11 + 2
c)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 11 + 11 + 4
c + 11 + 2
c= 11 + 11 + 11 + 4
c + 2
c = $(33 + 6
c)
(c)
Amount that Jack has
= 11 + 2
c= 11 + 2 x 4
= 11 + 8
= $19
Answer(s): (a) $(11 + 2
c) or $(2
c + 11); (b) $(33 + 6
c) or $(6
c + 33); (c) $19
