Question

! PLEASE HELP ! Mr. Herman had $120 and Mr. Chandra had $80. After each of them had paid for a concert ticket,

Mr. Herman had 3 times as much money as Mr. Chandra. (a) How much was the ticket? (b) How
much money did Mr. Chandra have left?

Answer 1

Explanation:

let x be the price of ticket,then

120-x=3(80-x)

120-x=240-3x

3x-x=240-120

2x=120

x=120/2=60

Price of ticket=$60

Mr.Chandra has 80-60=20 $ after buying the ticket.
