jemima has twice as much money as matthew. jemima has four times as much money as sally. sally has $3 more than Andrew. If matthew has $14. how much money do Andrew, sally and jemima have?
work with the know fact that
Mathew has 14
then Jemima has 28
and Sally must have 7
and Andrew has 4
Let's solve this step-by-step:
1. Given that Jemima has twice as much money as Matthew, Jemima's money = 2 * Matthew's money.
We know that Matthew has $14, so Jemima has 2 * $14 = $<<2*14=28>>28.
2. Jemima also has four times as much money as Sally, so Jemima's money = 4 * Sally's money.
We need to find Sally's money, so we can express it in terms of Matthew's money.
Since Jemima has four times as much money as Sally, Sally's money = Jemima's money / 4.
So, Sally's money = $28 / 4 = $<<28/4=7>>7.
3. Sally has $3 more than Andrew, so Andrew's money = Sally's money - $3.
Using the value of Sally's money from step 2, Andrew's money = $7 - $3 = $<<7-3=4>>4.
So, the final amounts of money are:
- Matthew: $14
- Andrew: $4
- Sally: $7
- Jemima: $28
To solve this problem, let's work step by step:
First, we know that Jemima has twice as much money as Matthew. Since Matthew has $14, Jemima would have $14 * 2 = $28.
Second, we know that Jemima has four times as much money as Sally. Since we already know that Jemima has $28, we can divide that by 4 to find out how much money Sally has. Thus, Sally has $28 / 4 = $7.
Third, we know that Sally has $3 more than Andrew. To find out how much money Andrew has, we need to subtract $3 from Sally's money. So, Andrew has $7 - $3 = $4.
Now, we have the amounts of money for Jemima, Sally, and Andrew. Jemima has $28, Sally has $7, and Andrew has $4.
