Michael has $13. Daniel has $4
i more than Michael. Albert has $2
i less than Daniel.
- Find the amount of money that Albert has in terms of i.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of i.
- If i = 5, how much does Albert have?
(a)
Amount that Michael has = $13
Amount that Daniel has = $(13 + 4
i)
Amount that Albert has
= 13 + 4
i - 2
i = $(13 + 2
i)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 13 + 13 + 4
i + 13 + 2
i= 13 + 13 + 13 + 4
i + 2
i = $(39 + 6
i)
(c)
Amount that Albert has
= 13 + 2
i= 13 + 2 x 5
= 13 + 10
= $23
Answer(s): (a) $(13 + 2
i) or $(2
i + 13); (b) $(39 + 6
i) or $(6
i + 39); (c) $23
