Question

David's money is three times Siti's money. Farid has RM 150 less than Siti. The total amount of their money is RM 2 000. How much do each of them have? ​

Answer 1

Siti's money = RM 430

David = RM 1,290

Farid = RM 280

Explanation:

Let

Siti's money = x

David = 3x

Farid = x - 150

Total of their money = RM 2 000

x + 3x + (x - 150) = 2000

4x + x - 150 = 2000

5x = 2000 + 150

5x = 2,150

x = 2,150/5

x = RM 430

Siti's money = x

= RM 430

David = 3x

= 3(430)

= RM 1,290

Farid = x - 150

= 430 - 150

= RM 280
