Vincent has $11. Paul has $4
p more than Vincent. Fabian has $2
p less than Paul.
- 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 = 7, how much does Fabian have?
(a)
Amount that Vincent has = $11
Amount that Paul has = $(11 + 4
p)
Amount that Fabian has
= 11 + 4
p - 2
p = $(11 + 2
p)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 11 + 11 + 4
p + 11 + 2
p= 11 + 11 + 11 + 4
p + 2
p = $(33 + 6
p)
(c)
Amount that Fabian has
= 11 + 2
p= 11 + 2 x 7
= 11 + 14
= $25
Answer(s): (a) $(11 + 2
p) or $(2
p + 11); (b) $(33 + 6
p) or $(6
p + 33); (c) $25
