Some children share an amount of money equally and each of them gets $20.
\n" ); document.write( " If the number of children sharing the same amount of money is reduced by 5, each child will get $40.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the amount of money.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let a = amt of money
\n" ); document.write( "let c = no. of children
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Two equations
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2Fc\" = 20
\n" ); document.write( "a = 20c
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2F%28%28c-5%29%29\" = 40
\n" ); document.write( "a = 40(c-5)
\n" ); document.write( "a = 40c - 200
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a=a, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "40c - 200 = 20c
\n" ); document.write( "40c - 20c = 200
\n" ); document.write( "c = 200/20
\n" ); document.write( "c = 10 children
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the amt
\n" ); document.write( "{{[a/10}} = 20
\n" ); document.write( "a = 10*20
\n" ); document.write( "a = $200 is the amt
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "\"200%2F5\" = 40
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
