Question

Help me with this problem please It would make it so much easer

Answer 1

Hannah and Francine have $120. Hannah and Peter have $230. Peter has 6 times as much as much money as Francine.

Let the amount with Hannah be represented by x.

As Hannah and Francine have $120, the amount with Francine is 120 - x

As Hannah and Peter have $230, the amount with Peter is 230 - x

Now Peter has 6 times as much as much money as Francine. This gives:

230 - x = 6*(120 - x)

230 - x = 720 - 6x

5x = 490

x = 490/5

x = 98

This gives the amount with Hannah as $98

Answer 2

The answer is that Francine has $38
