Question

Jerry collected 45000. Kramer collected 5 times more than jerry. Elaine collected 9 times less than jerry. Newman collects the same as jerry. Kramer and Elaine collected together. How much have the collectors each collected

Answer 1

Kramer collected = 225000

Elaine collected   = 5000

Newman collected = 45000

Solution:

Given Jerry collected 45000.

Kramer collected = 5 times more than Jerry collected

                             = 45000 × 5

                             = 225000

Kramer collected = 225000

Elaine collected   = 9 times less than Jerry collected

                             = 45000 ÷ 9

                             = 5000

Elaine collected   = 5000

Newman collected = same as Jerry collected

                                = 45000

Newman collected = 45000

Hence, Kramer collected = 225000

Elaine collected   = 5000

Newman collected = 45000
