Whole Number P6 2009 SA1 P2 RGS Q8

8. Jason had $78 and Ben had $25. After Jason and Ben spent $53 altogether on some games, Jason had 3 times as much money as Ben. How much did Ben spend on the games? [3]


[][][][  SJ  ]  78
B      [][ SB ]  25
           $53

78 + 25 = 103

4 u -- > 103 – 53 = 50
1 u -- > 50 ÷ 4 = 12.50

25 – 12.50 = $12.50

Ben spent $12.50 on the games.
