Kimberly has $9 more than Sabrina. Hazel has thrice as much money as Kimberly. They have a total of $196.
- How much money does Kimberly have?
- How much money does Hazel have?
(a)
Amount that Kimberly has = 1 u
Amount that Sabrina has = 1 u - 9
Amount that Hazel has = 3 u
Total amount that they has
= 1 u + 1 u - 9 + 3 u
= 5 u - 9
5 u - 9 = 196
5 u = 196 + 9
5 u = 205
1 u = 205 ÷ 5 = 41
(b)
Amount that Hazel has
= 3 u
= 3 x 41
= $123
Answer(s): (a) $41; (b) $123
