Tammy has $6 more than Julie. Cindy has eight times as much money as Tammy. They have a total of $124.
- How much money does Tammy have?
- How much money does Cindy have?
(a)
Amount that Tammy has = 1 u
Amount that Julie has = 1 u - 6
Amount that Cindy has = 8 u
Total amount that they has
= 1 u + 1 u - 6 + 8 u
= 10 u - 6
10 u - 6 = 124
10 u = 124 + 6
10 u = 130
1 u = 130 ÷ 10 = 13
(b)
Amount that Cindy has
= 8 u
= 8 x 13
= $104
Answer(s): (a) $13; (b) $104
