Mr. Herman had $125, and Mr. Chandra had $80.
\n" ); document.write( " After each of them had paid for a concert ticket, Mr. Herman had six times as much money as Mr. Chandra.
\n" ); document.write( "How much money did Mr. Chandra have left?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = cost of the ticket
\n" ); document.write( "125 - x = 6(80-x)
\n" ); document.write( "125 - x = 480 - 6x
\n" ); document.write( "-x + 6x = 480 - 125
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 355
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"355%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = $71 is cost of ticket
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "80 - 71 = $9, Mr C had left
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "125 - 71 = 6(9) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
