Question

Mr. Jenkins won $500 in a raffle. He split

some of the money among his three
children and had $20 left. How much did
he give each of his children?
Give me the equation

Answer 1

He gave $160.00 to each of his kids.

Equation: 20+(Y×3)=500

Explanation:

Subtract the 20 from both sides, giving you 480 on one side. You then have Y×3=480

You divide 480 by 3, and that gives you your answer, 160 per kid.
