Roshel and Anna have $184. Hazel and Roshel have $200. The ratio of Anna to Hazel is 1 : 2. How much does Roshel have?
Amount that Anna has = 1 u
Amount that Hazel has = 2 u
The amount that Roshel has is the repeated identity.
Roshel + 1 u = 184 --- (1)
Roshel + 2 u = 200 --- (2)
(2) - (1)
2 u - 1 u = 200 - 184
1 u = 16
From (1):
Roshel + 1 u = 184
Roshel + 1 x 16 = 184
Roshel + 16 = 184
Amount that Roshel has
= 184 - 16
= $168
Answer(s): $168
