Ade and bolu were given 600naira to buy clothes bolu gets 120 naira more than Ade how much does each get respectively
Let's use algebra to solve the problem.
Ade = x (amount given to Ade)
Bolu = x + 120 (amount given to Bolu because he gets 120 naira more than Ade)
We know that they were given a total of 600 naira, so:
x + (x + 120) = 600
Simplifying the equation:
2x + 120 = 600
2x = 480
x = 240
Therefore, Ade was given 240 naira and Bolu was given 360 naira.
Let's solve this step-by-step:
Let's assume the amount Ade gets is x naira.
According to the given information, Bolu gets 120 naira more than Ade. So, the amount Bolu gets is x + 120 naira.
The total amount given to both Ade and Bolu is 600 naira.
Therefore, the equation becomes:
x + (x + 120) = 600
Combining like terms, we get:
2x + 120 = 600
Subtracting 120 from both sides, we get:
2x = 600 - 120
2x = 480
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:
x = 480 / 2
x = 240
So, Ade gets 240 naira, and Bolu gets 240 + 120 = 360 naira.
To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations.
Let's say Ade gets x naira.
Since Bolu gets 120 naira more than Ade, Bolu gets x + 120 naira.
According to the problem, the total amount they get is 600 naira.
So, we can write the equation:
x + (x + 120) = 600
Now, let's solve for x:
x + x + 120 = 600
2x + 120 = 600
2x = 600 - 120
2x = 480
x = 480/2
x = 240
Hence, Ade gets 240 naira and Bolu gets 240 + 120 = 360 naira.
