Hilda has $6 more than Tammy. Xylia has four times as much money as Hilda. They have a total of $192.
- How much money does Hilda have?
- How much money does Xylia have?
(a)
Amount that Hilda has = 1 u
Amount that Tammy has = 1 u - 6
Amount that Xylia has = 4 u
Total amount that they has
= 1 u + 1 u - 6 + 4 u
= 6 u - 6
6 u - 6 = 192
6 u = 192 + 6
6 u = 198
1 u = 198 ÷ 6 = 33
(b)
Amount that Xylia has
= 4 u
= 4 x 33
= $132
Answer(s): (a) $33; (b) $132
