for his birthday torin got $50.00 more from his grandparents than from his uncle. his uncle gave him $10.00 less than his cousin torin recieved $135.00 in total how much did he recieve from his cousin
Let us assume that the amount Torin got from his grandparents = x The amount Torin received from his cousin = y Let us assume that the amount Torin got from his uncle = z Now let us concentrate on the information's provided in the question. Now x = 50 + z z = x - 50 z = y - 10 y = z + 10 We also know that x + y + z = 135 Now if we replace the value of x and y that we have already got then x + y + z = 135 50 + z +z + 10 + z = 135 3z + 60 = 135 3z = 135 - 60 3z = 75 z = 75/3 = 25 So the amount received from his cousin is $25
