Asher has $10. Archie has $5
h more than Asher. Bryan has $2
h less than Archie.
- Find the amount of money that Bryan has in terms of h.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of h.
- If h = 4, how much does Bryan have?
(a)
Amount that Asher has = $10
Amount that Archie has = $(10 + 5
h)
Amount that Bryan has
= 10 + 5
h - 2
h = $(10 + 3
h)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 10 + 10 + 5
h + 10 + 3
h= 10 + 10 + 10 + 5
h + 3
h = $(30 + 8
h)
(c)
Amount that Bryan has
= 10 + 3
h= 10 + 3 x 4
= 10 + 12
= $22
Answer(s): (a) $(10 + 3
h) or $(3
h + 10); (b) $(30 + 8
h) or $(8
h + 30); (c) $22
