Question

PLEASE I BEG U NOW!!

£130 is divided between Henry, Gavin & Jim so that Henry gets twice as much as Gavin, and Gavin gets three times as much as Jim. How much does Henry get?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: Henry gets £ 78

Explanation:

Data

Henry = H

Gavin = G

Jim = J

Henry + Gavin + Jim = £ 130

H = 2G

G = 3J

Process

Write an equation in terms of G

H + G + J = 130

2G + G + G/3 = 130

Solve it for G

3( 2G + G + G/3 = 130)

6G + 3G + G = 390

10G = 390

G = 390 / 10

G = £39

H = 2G = 2(39)

H = £78

J = G/3

J = 39/3

J = £13
