3 children have a total of $2310.
Bryan has $110 more than Charlie.
Charlie has 5 times as much as Adam.
- How much does Bryan have?
- How much does Charlie have?
- How much does Adam have?
(a)
Choose the person with least money to be 1 u.
Amount that Adam has = 1 u
Amount that Charlie has = 5 u
Amount that Bryan has = 5 u + 110
Total amount that Bryan, Charlie and Adam
= 1 u + 5 u + 5 u + 110
= 11 u + 110
11 u + 110 = 2310
11 u = 2310 - 110 = 2200
11 u = 2200
1 u = 2200 ÷ 11 = 200
Amount that Bryan has
= 5 u + 110
= 5 x 200 + 110
= 1000 + 110
= $1110
(b)
Amount that Charlie has
= 5 u
= $1000
(c)
Amount that Adam has
= 1 u
= $200
Answer(s): (a) $1110; (b) $1000; (c) $200
