3 children have a total of $3410.
Bryan has $110 more than Adam.
Adam has 5 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 = 5 u
Amount that Bryan has = 5 u + 110
Total amount that Bryan, Adam and Charlie
= 1 u + 5 u + 5 u + 110
= 11 u + 110
11 u + 110 = 3410
11 u = 3410 - 110 = 3300
11 u = 3300
1 u = 3300 ÷ 11 = 300
Amount that Bryan has
= 5 u + 110
= 5 x 300 + 110
= 1500 + 110
= $1610
(b)
Amount that Adam has
= 5 u
= $1500
(c)
Amount that Charlie has
= 1 u
= $300
Answer(s): (a) $1610; (b) $1500; (c) $300
