Question

Lourdes has 3times as much money than ella. Together they have $32 . How much money does Lourdes have ?

Answer 1

Lourdes has $24.

Explanation:

The appropriate equation would be L + (L/3) = $32, or 3L + L = $96.

Solving for L: 4L = $96, and L = $24. This is 3x what Ella has, so Ella has $8.

Check: Do $8 and $24 add up to $32? YES
