Question

4. Torrie has $430 and Sonia has $760. John has the same number of dollars more than Torrie as he has less than Sonia. How much money does John have?​

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can set up the following equation:

Torrie + John = Sonia - John

This equation represents the fact that John has the same number of dollars more than Torrie as he has less than Sonia. We can then substitute the given values for Torrie, Sonia, and John to solve for John:

430 + John = 760 - John

Combining like terms, we get:

2 * John = 330

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get:

John = 165

Thus, John has $165.
