Problema Solution
Joyce had as much money as George; then they bet 5 cents and George lost. After the bet George has x cents. How much does Joyce have after the bet?
Answer provided by our tutors
After the bet George has: x cents
Before the bet George had: x + 5 cents
Before the bet Joyce had also x + 5 cents
Since Joyce won 5 cents (won the bet) after the bet she has x + 5 + 5 = x + 10 cents.
