Question: 462
6. Al has 3 times as much money as Bill. Bill has 2 times as much money as Charlie. If Charlie has $12.55, how much money does Al have?
- A. $33.75
- B. $75.30
- C. $82.20
- D. $88.35
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B is correct. Create equations to solve this problem.
Al = 3(Bill)
Bill = 2(Charlie)
Charlie = $12.55
Solve for Al.
Substitute what you know into the formulas.
Bill = 2($12.55)
Bill = $25.10
To find Al, substitute what you know about Bill.
Al = 3($25.10)
Al = $75.30
