Question

PLEASE I BEG U NOW!!
£130 is divided between Henry, Gavin & Jim so that Henry gets twice as much as Gavin, and Gavin gets three times as much as Jim. How much does Henry get?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Henry gets £ 78

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Henry = H

Gavin = G

Jim = J

Henry + Gavin + Jim = £ 130

H = 2G

G = 3J

Process

Write an equation in terms of G

                                H + G + J = 130

                               2G + G + G/3 = 130

Solve it for G

                            3( 2G + G + G/3 = 130)

                            6G + 3G + G = 390

                             10G = 390

                                 G = 390 / 10

                                 G = £39  

                           H = 2G = 2(39)

                                    H = £78

                                   J = G/3

                                   J = 39/3

                                   J = £13
