Question

At the School Fair, Grade 3 raises $84 more than Grade 4. Grade 4 raises $112 more than Grade 2. Grade 3 raises $360. How much money does Grade 2 raise?

Answer 1

360-84= 276
276-112=164
grade 2 raised $164

Answer 2

Let, the amount of money grade 2 raised be $x.

Given, grade 4 raised $112 more than grade 2.

So the amount of money grade 4 raised = $(
`x+112`).

Also given, grade 3 raised $84 more than grade 4.

So the amount of money grade 3 raised = $(
`x+112+84`).

In the problem given, grade 3 raised $360.

We can write the equation as,

`x+112+84 = 360`

`x+196 = 360`

We can get x by moving 196 to the right side. As 196 is added there so we will subtract 196 from both sides to get x.

`x+196-196 = 360-196`

`x = 360-196`

`x = 164`

So we have got the required answer.

Grade 2 raised $164.
