Anglo Chinese School 2007 PSLE Math Prelim Q41

Alex has $1.50 more money than Betty and three times as much money as Colin. The 3 of them have $9.70 altogether. How much does Colin have?

7 units - $1.50 ----- $9.70

7 units ----- $9.70 + $1.50 = $11.20

1 unit ----- $11.20 divided by 7 = $1.60


Answer: $1.60
