Question

Jason has $20 more than Darcy and Maria has twice as muvh money as Jason. How much money do Darcy and Jason have altogether?

Answer 1

Hi Buneka,

 

Let Darcy has money=x

 

Jason has $20 more than Darcy

 

Jason =20+x

 

Maria has twice as much money as Jason

 

Maria = 2(20+x)=40+2x

 

Darcy,Jason and Maria share $268

 

x+20+x+40+2x=268

 

4x+60=268

 

4x=208

x=52

 

So Darcy has money=$52

 

Jason has money=20+x=20+52=$72

 

Darcy and Jason have altogether=$(52+72)=$124
