Julian has $17. Caden has $5
p more than Julian. Fabian has $2
p less than Caden.
- Find the amount of money that Fabian has in terms of p.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of p.
- If p = 6, how much does Fabian have?
(a)
Amount that Julian has = $17
Amount that Caden has = $(17 + 5
p)
Amount that Fabian has
= 17 + 5
p - 2
p = $(17 + 3
p)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 17 + 17 + 5
p + 17 + 3
p= 17 + 17 + 17 + 5
p + 3
p = $(51 + 8
p)
(c)
Amount that Fabian has
= 17 + 3
p= 17 + 3 x 6
= 17 + 18
= $35
Answer(s): (a) $(17 + 3
p) or $(3
p + 17); (b) $(51 + 8
p) or $(8
p + 51); (c) $35
