Kagiso, Dikeledi and Thabo. Kagiso gets
twice as much as his sister, Dikeledi, and Dikeledi gets R100 less than Thabo. Suppose Kagiso gets x rand.
How much does Thabo get, in terms of x?

Transcribing the description literally, with a logical adjustment for Thabo's description

CHILD            ALLOTTED NUMBER OF RANDS
Kagiso            x
Dikeledi          (1/2)x
Thabo             (1/2)x+100
