Discussion of Question

Known from the question are:

• Rick = $23 + Cindy
• Angel = 3 x Cindy
• Rick + Cindy + Angel = $183

Question: How much money did Rick save?

So, lets make them variables.

Rick = R

Angel = A

Cindy = C

Then, add the datas from above.

R = 23 + C

A = 3C = $183

C

Lets see, what are the things that made up the sum of their money.

5C + 23 = 183

The solution is to place 23 to the right side. Remember, when placing a group to the other side, make sure you swap the positive number (+) into negative number (-) and otherwise, become:

5C = 183 - 23

5C = 160

Then we divide it with the coefficient (in this case, 5).

5C ÷ 5 = C

160 ÷ 5 = 32

C = 32

Cindy's money is $32.

Then how much money the rest of the group has?

A = 3 × 32

A = 96

Angel's money is $96

R = 32 + 23

R = 55

Then Rick's money is $55
