Pamela has $12 more than Rachel. Roshel has six times as much money as Pamela. They have a total of $124.
- How much money does Pamela have?
- How much money does Roshel have?
(a)
Amount that Pamela has = 1 u
Amount that Rachel has = 1 u - 12
Amount that Roshel has = 6 u
Total amount that they has
= 1 u + 1 u - 12 + 6 u
= 8 u - 12
8 u - 12 = 124
8 u = 124 + 12
8 u = 136
1 u = 136 ÷ 8 = 17
(b)
Amount that Roshel has
= 6 u
= 6 x 17
= $102
Answer(s): (a) $17; (b) $102
