Question

Aaron had $35 more than Angie who have three times as much is Jacob if they had $196 together how much money did Jacob have

Answer 1

Jacob has j dollars

 

Angie has 3j dollars

 

Aaron has 3j + 35 dollars.

 

All the j's plus 35 = 196

 

So all the j's by themselves = 196-35, which equals 161.

 

161 divided by 7 (since there are 7 j's) equals...

 

Go for it! :-)
