Final answer:
To find out how much Conner has, we can set up equations based on the given information and solve for the variables. By substituting the values back into the equations, we can determine that Conner has $10.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how much Conner has, we can start by assigning variables to the amounts of money each person has. Let's say Chi has $x, Cher has $y, and Conner has $z.
We know that Conner has $3 more than Chi, so z = x + 3. We also know that Conner has $2 more than Cher, so z = y + 2. Lastly, Jan has $8 less than Cher, so Jan has y - 8.
Since the total amount of money they have together is $28, we can add up their individual amounts: x + y + z + (y - 8) = 28.
From the second equation, we can substitute z with y + 2:
x + y + (y + 2) + (y - 8) = 28.
Simplifying the equation gives us: 4y - 4 = 28.
Adding 4 to both sides gives us: 4y = 32.
Dividing both sides by 4 gives us: y = 8.
Now we can substitute y with 8 in the first equation to find z:
z = 8 + 2 = 10.
Therefore, Conner has $10.
