Q. 12. Ala. Ela i Monika maja razem 180 zl. Monika ma 2 razy więcej niz Ala, a Ela 3 razy wieccej niz Monika. Ile pieniędzy ma Monika?
Define Variables: Let's denote the amount of money that Ala has as A, Monika has as M, and Ela has as E. According to the problem, we have the following relationships:1. A+M+E=180 (since they have 180 zl together)2. M=2A (since Monika has twice as much as Ala)3. E=3M (since Ela has three times as much as Monika)We need to find the value of M.
Express A in terms of M: Using the second relationship, we can express A in terms of M: A=2M.
Express E in terms of M: Using the third relationship, we can express E in terms of M: E=3M.
Substitute into First Equation: Now we substitute the expressions for A and E in terms of M into the first equation:2M+M+3M=180.
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms to solve for M:4.5M=180.
Solve for M: Divide both sides of the equation by 4.5 to find M: M=4.5180.
Calculate M: Calculate the value of M:M=40.
