3 children have a total of $4460.
Bryan has $410 more than Adam.
Adam has 4 times as much as Charlie.
- How much does Bryan have?
- How much does Adam have?
- How much does Charlie have?
(a)
Choose the person with least money to be 1 u.
Amount that Charlie has = 1 u
Amount that Adam has = 4 u
Amount that Bryan has = 4 u + 410
Total amount that Bryan, Adam and Charlie
= 1 u + 4 u + 4 u + 410
= 9 u + 410
9 u + 410 = 4460
9 u = 4460 - 410 = 4050
9 u = 4050
1 u = 4050 ÷ 9 = 450
Amount that Bryan has
= 4 u + 410
= 4 x 450 + 410
= 1800 + 410
= $2210
(b)
Amount that Adam has
= 4 u
= $1800
(c)
Amount that Charlie has
= 1 u
= $450
Answer(s): (a) $2210; (b) $1800; (c) $450
