in their wallets. Henry has

times what Goran has. Carmen has

$

7


more than Goran. How much does each have?

Answer 1

Carmen is $ 27, Henry is $ 80, and Goran is $ 20.

Explanation:

be Carmen's money "c", Goran's "g" and Henry's "h"

Now, we organize the equations and we are left with:

c + g + h = 127

h = 4 * g

c = g + 7

replacing in the main one we have:

g + 7 + g + 4 * g = 127

6 * g = 127 - 7

g = 120/6

g = 20

now replacing:

h = 4 * 20 = 80

c = 20 + 7 = 27

therefore, Carmen is $ 27, Henry is $ 80, and Goran is $ 20.
