5. Distribute an amount of Rs. 200 between Raheem and Usman
\n" ); document.write( "such that Raheem gets Rs.50 more than twice as much as Usman
\n" ); document.write( "gets?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "R=amount to Raheem; U=amount to Usman
\n" ); document.write( "R=2U+50 . Use this to substitute for R below.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "R+U=200 . Substitute for R from above.
\n" ); document.write( "(2U+50)+U=200
\n" ); document.write( "3U+50=200
\n" ); document.write( "3U=150
\n" ); document.write( "U=50
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "R=2U+50=2(50)+50=100+50=150
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: Raheem gets Rs. 150 and Usman gets Rs. 50
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "8. Distribute an amount of Rs.500 among 2 brothers and 1 sister
\n" ); document.write( "such that,
\n" ); document.write( "a. sister gets twice as much as brothers do.
\n" ); document.write( "(Does this mean twice as much as each brother or twice as much as both?)
\n" ); document.write( "Using twice as much as each brother:
\n" ); document.write( "B=amount to each brother; S=amount to sister=2B
\n" ); document.write( "2B+S=500 . Substitute for S
\n" ); document.write( "2B+2B=500
\n" ); document.write( "4B=500
\n" ); document.write( "B=125
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "S=2B=2(125)=250
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: Each brother gets Rs. 125 and sister gets Rs. 250\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b. each brother gets twice as much as the sister does.
\n" ); document.write( "B=amount to each brother; S=amount to sister
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "B=2S . Use this to substitute for B below.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2B+S=500 Substitute for B
\n" ); document.write( "2(2S)+S=500

\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "B=2S=2(100)=200
