Question

Fundi, Halima and Gitonga are employed in a firm. Fundi's monthly salary is $50 more than that of Gitonga. Halima’s monthly salary is $90 more than half of the total amount earned by Fundi and Gitonga. If Fundi's salary is $n, write the equation that represents the total monthly income of the three employees?

Answer 1

Gitonga = n - 50
Fundi = n
Halima = (n + n -50)/2 +90
= n +65
n + n -50 + n +75
= 3n + 15

Answer 2

GITONGA=n-50
Fundi=n
Halima=n+n-50/2+90
=2n-50/2+90
=n-25+90
=n+65
=n-50+n+n+65
=3n+65-50
=3n+15
