Roger, Sue and Tim have $90 between them. Roger has half the amount that Sue has. If Sue gives Tim $5, he will have twice as much as she does. How much does each one have?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Assume Roger has \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "Then Sue has \"2x\".
\n" ); document.write( "And Tim will have 2(2x-5)= 4x-10
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "x+2x+4x-10 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "7x=100
\n" ); document.write( "x=$14.29 {amount Roger has)
\n" ); document.write( "2x=$28.57 (amount Sue has)
\n" ); document.write( "4x-10= $47.28 (amount Tim has)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "These numbers don't add up to exactly $90 because of
\n" ); document.write( "rounding off.
