Question

Elias had 3 time as much money as munah.Elias spent $240 and munah received $60 from her brother. In the end.Elias and munah had the same amount of money.How much did elias have at first

Answer 1

Answer:

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

let m represent the amount of money munah has

That means elias would have 3 * m or 3m dollars.

Then, you have m + 60 = 3m - 240

solve:

$m + 60 = 3m -240\\300 = 2m\\m = 150$

So munah started with $150. Since elias has 3 times as much, they have 150 * 3 = 450
