Question

Alicia has $6 more than Betty. Betty has $10 more than Celia. The
total amount of money they have is $116. How much money does each of them
have?

Answer 1

Answer:

c = 100

b=110

c=116

Step-by-step explanation:

money celia has = x

money Betty has =10+x

money alicia has =10+6+x

total money =10+6+x+x

which equals 16+2x

116=16+2x

116-16=x

100= x

celia $100

betty 100+10=$110

alicia 110+6=$116

Answer 2

Given:

Alicia has $6 more than Betty.

Betty has $10 more than Celia.

Total amount is $116

To Find:

How much does each of them have

Method Used:

Model Drawing method (* See attached diagram for the model drawing)

Find 1 unit:

$3 \text { units} = 116 - 6 - 10 - 10$

$3 \text { units} = 90$

$3 \text { units} = 90$

$1 \text { units} = 90 \div 3$

$1 \text { units} = \ \:30$

Find the amount each of them have:

$\text{Celia} = \ \:30$

$\text{Betty} = 30 + 10$

$\text{Betty} = \ \:40$

$\text{Alicia} = 30 + 10 + 6$

$\text{Alicia} = \ \:46$

Answer: Alicia = $46, Betty = $40, Celia = $30
