Question

Visual illustration of a family budget distribution in an interesting way. Picture an Asian man, gracious in nature, holding a bag signifying money, labeled as $3600. Around him are three people, an Asian woman, a young Asian boy, and a young Asian girl, all with receiving hands. The bag the woman is about to receive appears heavier (indicating $500 more), and the bag the boy is about to receive is twice as heavy as the one for the girl. Remember, no text in the image itself.

Solution to problem: mr lim gave $3600 to his wife and two children altogether. His wife receieved $500 more than his son. His son received twice as much as his daughter. How much did mr lim’s wife receive?

Answer 1

d = daughter

d + 2d + (2d + 500) = 3600
5d + 500 = 3600
5d = 3100
d = 620

daughter = 620
son = 1240
wife = 1740

Answer 2

I tried but i cannot get the answer

Answer 3

4342 buttons in three bags, A,B and C.

A = --------------
B = -------------- + 18
C= ----------------------+ -----------------+ ------------------
A + (A+18) + (3A + 3*18) = 4342
5A+ 72 = 4342
5A = 4270
A = 854

Answer 4

Answer 9

To solve this problem, we need to set up equations based on the given information.

Let's assume Mr. Lim's daughter received x dollars. Since his son received twice as much as his daughter, we can say his son received 2x dollars.

And we know that the wife received $500 more than the son, which means the wife received 2x + $500 dollars.

According to the problem, Mr. Lim gave a total of $3600 to his wife and two children. So we can write the equation:

x + 2x + (2x + $500) = $3600

Now let's solve the equation to find the value of x, which represents the amount of money that Mr. Lim's daughter received.

Combining like terms, we have:

5x + $500 = $3600

Subtracting $500 from both sides:

5x = $3100

Dividing both sides by 5, we find:

x = $620

So, Mr. Lim's daughter received $620.

Now we can find how much Mr. Lim's wife received:

Wife's amount = 2x + $500
= 2($620) + $500
= $1240 + $500
= $1740

Therefore, Mr. Lim's wife received $1740.
