Carl has $15. Charlie has $4
h more than Carl. Archie has $2
h less than Charlie.
- Find the amount of money that Archie has in terms of h.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of h.
- If h = 7, how much does Archie have?
(a)
Amount that Carl has = $15
Amount that Charlie has = $(15 + 4
h)
Amount that Archie has
= 15 + 4
h - 2
h = $(15 + 2
h)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 15 + 15 + 4
h + 15 + 2
h= 15 + 15 + 15 + 4
h + 2
h = $(45 + 6
h)
(c)
Amount that Archie has
= 15 + 2
h= 15 + 2 x 7
= 15 + 14
= $29
Answer(s): (a) $(15 + 2
h) or $(2
h + 15); (b) $(45 + 6
h) or $(6
h + 45); (c) $29
