Yen has $10 more than Lynn. Irene has twice as much money as Yen. They have a total of $182.
- How much money does Yen have?
- How much money does Irene have?
(a)
Amount that Yen has = 1 u
Amount that Lynn has = 1 u - 10
Amount that Irene has = 2 u
Total amount that they has
= 1 u + 1 u - 10 + 2 u
= 4 u - 10
4 u - 10 = 182
4 u = 182 + 10
4 u = 192
1 u = 192 ÷ 4 = 48
(b)
Amount that Irene has
= 2 u
= 2 x 48
= $96
Answer(s): (a) $48; (b) $96
