Jane has $11 more than Usha. Joelle has twice as much money as Jane. They have a total of $197.
- How much money does Jane have?
- How much money does Joelle have?
(a)
Amount that Jane has = 1 u
Amount that Usha has = 1 u - 11
Amount that Joelle has = 2 u
Total amount that they has
= 1 u + 1 u - 11 + 2 u
= 4 u - 11
4 u - 11 = 197
4 u = 197 + 11
4 u = 208
1 u = 208 ÷ 4 = 52
(b)
Amount that Joelle has
= 2 u
= 2 x 52
= $104
Answer(s): (a) $52; (b) $104
