Julie has $11 more than Yoko. Olivia has five times as much money as Julie. They have a total of $171.
- How much money does Julie have?
- How much money does Olivia have?
(a)
Amount that Julie has = 1 u
Amount that Yoko has = 1 u - 11
Amount that Olivia has = 5 u
Total amount that they has
= 1 u + 1 u - 11 + 5 u
= 7 u - 11
7 u - 11 = 171
7 u = 171 + 11
7 u = 182
1 u = 182 ÷ 7 = 26
(b)
Amount that Olivia has
= 5 u
= 5 x 26
= $130
Answer(s): (a) $26; (b) $130
