in march, the savings of oliver, asia, hassan, and abby was $1440. in april, their savings became equaly when oliver's savings is doubled, asia's savings is decreased by $30, abby's savings is increased by $46, and hassan remained the same. find the total saving in april.
in March, let their individual savings be
a, b, c, and d ---> a+b+c+d = 1440
in April,
Oliver: 2a
Asia: b-30
Hassan: c
Abby: d+46
total = 2a + b-30 + c + d+46
= a + b + c + d + a + 16
= 1440 + a + 16 = 1456 + a
also: 2a = b-30 = c = d+46
b -30= 2a , ---> b = 2a+30
c = 2a
d+46 = 2a ----> d = 2a-46
so in a+b+c+d=1440
a + 2a+30 + 2a + 2a-46 = 1440
7a = 1456
a = 208
total in April = 1456+a = 1456+208 = 1664
check:
a=208, b=446 , c = 416, d = 370
March: 208+446+416+370 = 1440
April: 416+416+416+416 = 1664
In April all their savings equal Hassan's.
a=oliver
b=aisa
h=hassan
d=abby
In april
a=h
b=h
h=h
d=h
So...
In March
h + 1/2h + h + 30 + h - 46 = 1440
In total: 7/2h - 16 = 1440
2/7 x 7/2h = 456 x 2/7
h = 416
So then multiply it by 4 and you get the amount saved in April.
Well, it seems like Oliver, Asia, Hassan, and Abby were really focused on their savings. Let's see what happened in April!
Let's start with Oliver. If his savings doubled, we can say his savings in April was "2x", where "x" is Oliver's savings in March.
Now let's move on to Asia. Her savings decreased by $30. That means her savings in April can be represented as "x - 30".
Next up is Abby. Her savings increased by $46, which means her savings in April can be represented as "x + 46".
Lastly, poor Hassan. He decided to keep his savings the same, so his savings in April remained at "x".
Since their savings became equal in April, we can set up an equation:
2x = x - 30 = x + 46 = x
Let's solve this equation to find the value of "x".
2x = x - 30
Subtracting "x" from both sides, we have:
x = -30
Uh-oh! It looks like the value of "x" is negative, which doesn't make any sense for savings. I think there might be an error in the problem or the question. Double-check your numbers and let's give it another shot!
Let's denote Oliver's savings in March as O, Asia's savings as A, Hassan's savings as H, and Abby's savings as B.
According to the given information, we know:
O + A + H + B = $1440 ---(1)
In April:
Oliver's savings doubled: 2O
Asia's savings decreased by $30: A - $30
Abby's savings increased by $46: B + $46
Hassan's savings remained the same: H
Therefore, the new equation becomes:
2O + (A - $30) + H + (B + $46) = 4 equal amounts ---(2)
We can simplify equation (2):
2O + A + H + B + $16 = 4 equal amounts
Since the amounts are equal, we can substitute 4 equal amounts with (4 × equal amount), which gives:
2O + A + H + B + $16 = 4 × equal amount
Now, let's substitute equation (1) in equation (2):
2O + A + H + B + $16 = 4 × $1440
2O + A + H + B + $16 = $5760 ---(3)
Now we have two equations:
O + A + H + B = $1440 ---(1)
2O + A + H + B + $16 = $5760 ---(3)
Let's solve these equations to find the values of O, A, H, and B.
To eliminate the variables A, H, and B from equation (3), we can subtract equation (1) from equation (3):
(2O + A + H + B + $16) - (O + A + H + B) = $5760 - $1440
O + $16 = $4320
Subtracting $16 from both sides of the equation:
O = $4304
Now, substitute the value of O in equation (1):
$4304 + A + H + B = $1440
Now, let's solve for A + H + B:
A + H + B = $1440 - $4304
A + H + B = -$2864
However, it seems like there is an error in the given information or calculations because the sum of savings cannot be negative.
Please double-check the given information or calculations provided.
To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Assign variables
Let's assign variables for Oliver's savings in March (O), Asia's savings in March (A), Hassan's savings in March (H), Abby's savings in March (B), and the total savings in April (T).
Step 2: Set up equations
Based on the given information, we can set up the following equations:
O + A + H + B = 1440 (Equation 1)
In April:
2O = A - 30
B = A + 46
H remains the same
Step 3: Solve the equations
Let's substitute the values from the second set of equations into Equation 1:
O + (2O + 30) + H + (2O + 30 - 46) = 1440
Combining like terms:
5O + H - 16 = 1440
Adding 16 to both sides:
5O + H = 1456 (Equation 2)
Now we have a system of equations:
5O + H = 1456 (Equation 2)
O + A + H + B = 1440 (Equation 1)
Step 4: Solve the system of equations
Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2 to eliminate H:
5O + H - (O + A + H + B) = 1456 - 1440
Simplifying:
4O - A - B = 16 (Equation 3)
Now, we have two equations:
4O - A - B = 16 (Equation 3)
O + A + H + B = 1440 (Equation 1)
Step 5: Substitute and solve
We'll solve the system of equations by substituting the value of B from the second equation into the third equation:
4O - A - (A + 46) = 16
Simplifying:
4O - A - A - 46 = 16
Combining like terms:
4O - 2A = 62 (Equation 4)
Now we have two equations:
4O - 2A = 62 (Equation 4)
O + A + H + B = 1440 (Equation 1)
Step 6: Solve Equation 4 for A
Let's solve Equation 4 for A:
4O - 2A = 62
Adding 2A to both sides:
4O = 2A + 62
Dividing both sides by 2:
2O = A + 31
Step 7: Substitute and solve
Now we'll substitute the value of A from Equation 6 into Equation 1:
O + (2O) + H + (2O - 30 + 46) = 1440
Simplifying:
5O + H + 16 = 1440
Subtracting 16 from both sides:
5O + H = 1424
Step 8: Calculate the value of T
Finally, to find the total savings in April, we need to calculate the sum of O, A, H, and B:
T = O + A + H + B
Since we know that O + A + H = 1424 (from Step 7) and B = A + 46 (from Question):
T = 1424 + (A + 46)
T = 1424 + A + 46
T = 1470 + A
Now, we need to determine the value of A to find the total savings in April. Do you have any additional information to help us solve for A?
