Question

Three boys start with different amounts of money. If Ryan gives Jeet $1 and Jeet gives Kevin $5, then the three boys will then have the same amount of money.

If Kevin had $2 originally, how much more money did Jeet have than Ryan at the start?

Worked Solution

If JJ = Jeet's money at start and RR = Ryan's money at start, then
Kevin's money (at the end) = 2 + 5
= $7
RR −- 1 = 7
RR = 8

∴\therefore Ryan had $8 at the start
JJ + 1 −- 5 = 7
JJ = 11

∴\therefore Jeet had $11 at the start
Difference = 11 −- 8
= {{{correctAnswer}}}

∴\therefore Jeet has {{{correctAnswer}}} more than Ryan at the start.
