What are the options it gives you?
You find three times that number.
3 laps in 2.5 minutes
1 lap = 2.5/3 minute
20 laps = (2.5/3)*20 = 16.67
20 laps ≈ 16.67 minutes
Starting equation:
92=J+L+B
To find how much money Jane has, we use the equation:
J=5+3L
To find how much money Bob has, we use the equation:
B=4L-1
Enter those equations in the problem
92=(5+3L)+L+(4L-1)
Combine like terms
92=4+8L
Subtract 4 to isolate variable
88=8L
Divide by 8 to isolate variable
11=L
Answer:
Lonnie has $11
Jane has $38
Bob has $43
side note: Lonnie is that one poor friend we all have
