Eva has $12 more than Marion. Emma has six times as much money as Eva. They have a total of $116.
- How much money does Eva have?
- How much money does Emma have?
(a)
Amount that Eva has = 1 u
Amount that Marion has = 1 u - 12
Amount that Emma has = 6 u
Total amount that they has
= 1 u + 1 u - 12 + 6 u
= 8 u - 12
8 u - 12 = 116
8 u = 116 + 12
8 u = 128
1 u = 128 ÷ 8 = 16
(b)
Amount that Emma has
= 6 u
= 6 x 16
= $96
Answer(s): (a) $16; (b) $96
