Rei has $18.If Conner had another $6 he would have three times as much money as Rei. How much does Conner have?

Answer 1

Let the amount of money Conner has be represented as \( C \).

According to the problem, if Conner had another $6, he would have three times as much money as Rei. Since Rei has $18, we can set up the equation:

\[ C + 6 = 3 \times 18 \]

Calculating \( 3 \times 18 \):

\[ 3 \times 18 = 54 \]

Now we can substitute this into our equation:

\[ C + 6 = 54 \]

To find \( C \), we subtract 6 from both sides:

\[ C = 54 - 6 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ C = 48 \]

Therefore, Conner has \(\boxed{48}\) dollars.
