How much money does Hari have?

Question

Hari and Farid have 120 dollars. Hari and Peter have 230 dollars. Peter has 6 times as much money as Farid.How much money does Hari have?

Answer 1

h + f = 120

h + p = 230

p = 6f

 

Start substituting.

 

h + 6f = 230

h = 230 - 6f

 

From the first equation,

 

h = 120 - f

 

H has two different "values" which then equal each other.

 

230 - 6f = 120 - f

 

Solve for f, then use your answer to solve for h.
