Question

Connor has five times as much money as Jayden. Connor gives some money to Jayden. They now have £8.52 each. How much did Connor have at the start?

Answer 1

Answer:

Connor had £14.2 at the start.

Step-by-step explanation:

let Jayden had x .

so as per question Connor had 5x .

they total had 6x .

Now when Connor gave some rupees to Jayden they both then had £8.52 each

so they total had £8.52×2 = £17.04

Now clearly it is equivalent to 6x.

so x = £2.84 and 5x = £14.2
