Elijah has $14. Ivan has $4
f more than Elijah. Sam has $2
f less than Ivan.
- Find the amount of money that Sam has in terms of f.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of f.
- If f = 6, how much does Sam have?
(a)
Amount that Elijah has = $14
Amount that Ivan has = $(14 + 4
f)
Amount that Sam has
= 14 + 4
f - 2
f = $(14 + 2
f)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 14 + 14 + 4
f + 14 + 2
f= 14 + 14 + 14 + 4
f + 2
f = $(42 + 6
f)
(c)
Amount that Sam has
= 14 + 2
f= 14 + 2 x 6
= 14 + 12
= $26
Answer(s): (a) $(14 + 2
f) or $(2
f + 14); (b) $(42 + 6
f) or $(6
f + 42); (c) $26
