help me pls.William,Jan,and Greg have a total of $26.Greg has the most money.Jan has twice as much money as William. Greg has $11.How much money does Jan have? Pls I am confusion
Greg has $11
Jan has $10
William has $5
so, put the words into math.
g = 11
j = 2w
w+j+g = 26
so
w+j+11 = 26
w+j = 15
hmmm. 5+10 = 15
To do this, you first subtract Greg's $11 from the total $26, which leaves you with $15 between William and Jan. Now, we know that Jan has twice as much money as William, so we can call Jan's amount of money 2x, and Williams is x. When you combine Jan and William's money, you get $15, so we can set up the equation of x + 2x = 15, or 3x = 15. Now, simply solve, and you get x = 5. If you know that William has $5, and Jan has twice that, then obviously, Jan has $10.
you subtract 6 from 80 and you get the answer 10 i think
Im only in fourth grade I don’t know how to do the x problems but this is hard someone explain it easier please I can’t understand it and it is my homework
To find out how much money Jan has, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Let's say William has x dollars.
Step 2: Since Jan has twice as much money as William, Jan has 2x dollars.
Step 3: We know that Greg has $11, so we subtract that amount from the total of $26: 26 - 11 = $15.
Step 4: Now, we can set up an equation using the information we have. The total amount of money is the sum of the money each person has: x + 2x + 11 = 15.
Step 5: Simplify the equation: 3x + 11 = 15.
Step 6: Subtract 11 from both sides of the equation: 3x = 4.
Step 7: Divide both sides of the equation by 3: x = 4/3.
Step 8: Since we can't have a fraction of a dollar, we need to round x to the nearest whole number. In this case, x = 1.
Therefore, William has $1, Jan has 2x = 2 * 1 = $2, and Greg has $11.
