Jimmy, Johny and Jolly went to the market to buy some presents for Secret Santa celebration at school. Three of them together spent $560. If Johny spent twice as much Jolly did and Jimmy spent $30 less than Johny did, how much did each of them spend?
Answers
Answer:
Jimmy spent $206
Johnny spent $236
Jolly spent $ 118
Step-by-step explanation:
Take amount spent by Jolly as x.
if Jimmy spent twice as much as jolly = 2x.
If Johnny spend $30 less than Johnny = 2x-30.
Amount spent in total = $560.
Therefore,
x+ (2x-30) + 2x = 560
x+ 2x -30 +2x =560.
5x = 560 + 30
x = 590÷5
x= 118.
Now take X= 118.
Jolly = x
= $118.
Jimmy =2x-30
=2 * 118 -30
=206
Johnny = 2x
= 2*118
=236
Answer:
Jolly=$118
Jimmy=$206
Johnny=$236
Step-by-step explanation:
Take amount spent by Jolly as x.
if Jimmy spent twice as much as jolly = 2x.
If Johnny spend $30 less than Johnny = 2x-30.
Amount spent in total = $560.
Therefore,
x+ (2x-30) + 2x = 560
x+ 2x -30 +2x =560.
5x = 560 + 30
x = 590÷5
x= 118.
Now take X= 118.
Jolly = x
= $118.
Jimmy =2x-30
=2 * 118 -30
=206
Johnny = 2x
= 2*118
=236
