Question

Together, Thomas and Tyrone have

$24.00. Thom is has three times as much
as Tyrone. How much does each have?

Answer 1

Thom has $18.00 and Tyrone has $6.00

Explanation:

let the amount Tyrone has be x , then Thom has 3x , so

x + 3x = 24

4x = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 6

Then Tyrone has $6.00 and Thom = 3 × $6.00 = $18.00
