Question

Philame had 4 200.00Php. After spending 880.00, she still had twice as much money as Frenche. Find the total amount of money they had first.

Answer 1

Answer:

The total amount of money Philame and Frenche had first is 5860 Php.

Step-by-step-explanation:

Let Frenche had x Php money.

We have given that,

Philame had 4200 Php money.

∴ Total money both Philame & Frenche had = ( x + 4200 ) Php

Now,

Remaining money Philame had = 4200 - Money spent by Philame

⇒ Remaining money Philame had = 4200 - 880

⇒ Remaining money Philame had = 3320 Php

From the given condition,

Philame having money left to her was twice as much as Frenche had.

∴ Remaining money Philame had = 2x

⇒ 2x = 3320

⇒ x = 3320 ÷ 2

⇒ x = 1660

∴ Frenche had 1660 Php.

Now,

Total money both Philame & Frenche had = ( x + 4200 ) Php

⇒ Total money both Philame & Frenche had = ( 1660 + 4200 ) Php

⇒ Total money both Philame & Frenche had = 5860 Php

∴ The total amount of money Philame and Frenche had first is 5860 Php.
