Asher has 20% less money than james. Lisa has 10% more money than James. Lisa has 24 dollars more than Asher. How much money do the three of them have altogether?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let a = amt A has
\n" ); document.write( "let b = amt L has
\n" ); document.write( "let c = amt J has
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"Asher has 20% less money than james.\" (multiplier for 20% less is .8)
\n" ); document.write( "a = .8c
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"Lisa has 10% more money than james.\" (multiplier for 10% more is 1.1)
\n" ); document.write( "b = 1.1c
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"Lisa has 24 dollars more than Asher.\"
\n" ); document.write( "b = a + 24
\n" ); document.write( "Replace b with 1.1c, replace a with .8c
\n" ); document.write( "1.1c = .8c + 24
\n" ); document.write( "1.1c - .8c = 24
\n" ); document.write( ".3c = 24
\n" ); document.write( "c = \"24%2F.3\"
\n" ); document.write( "c = $80 is J's amt
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "a = .8(80)
\n" ); document.write( "a = $64 is A's amt
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "b = 1.1(80)
\n" ); document.write( "b = $88 is L's amt
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "How much altogether?
\n" ); document.write( "80 + 64 + 88 = $232\r
