Question

Harry gave 40% of his money and an additional $5 to Connie. He gave 75% of his remaining money and an additional $6 to Ken. The amount of money Harry had left in the end was $44 less than the amount of money he gave to Ken. Find the amount of money Harry gave to Connie.

Answer 1

$51 to Connie

H - .4H - 5 - .75(H-.4H-5) - 6= -44 + .75(H-.4H-5)

let x = H-.4H-5

x -.75x -6 =-44 +.75x +6

.5x = 32

x= 64

.6H-5 =64

H = 69/.6 = $115 to begin

40% of 115 = 46 add 5 = $51 to Connie

.75(115-51)+6 = .75(64)+6 = $54 to Ken

He was left with 115-105 =$10
