Julie has $10 more than Xylia. Yoko has six times as much money as Julie. They have a total of $102.
- How much money does Julie have?
- How much money does Yoko have?
(a)
Amount that Julie has = 1 u
Amount that Xylia has = 1 u - 10
Amount that Yoko has = 6 u
Total amount that they has
= 1 u + 1 u - 10 + 6 u
= 8 u - 10
8 u - 10 = 102
8 u = 102 + 10
8 u = 112
1 u = 112 ÷ 8 = 14
(b)
Amount that Yoko has
= 6 u
= 6 x 14
= $84
Answer(s): (a) $14; (b) $84
