Question

3. Sam has $1,000 to

be distributed among two groups
equally.
Later, the first part is divided among five children and second
part is divided among two brothers. Give the expression that
represents how
the money distribution between two groups was
dispersed?

Answer 1

Let x be the money distributed to the first group and y be the money distributed to the second group.

Then, x + y = 1000

Let c be the money distributed to one child in the first group and b be the money distributed to one brother in the second group.

Then, x = 5c and y = 2b

Hence 5c + 2b = 1000.
