Alfred has 10 more tokens than Clarissa. Clarissa has twice as many tokens as Benji. They have 85 tokens altogether. How many tokens does each person have.

Alfred has 40 tokens

Clarissa has 30 tokens

Benji has 15 tokens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's give each person a variable:

A for Alfred

C for Clarissa

B for Benji

Now, we can take what the question is saying and convert them into equations:

Alfred has 10 more tokens than Clarissa can look like this:

A = C + 10

Since Alfred has 10 more coins than Clarissa we can take C and add 10 to find how many tokens Alfred has.

Clarissa has twice as many tokens as Benji looks like this:

C = 2B

Since Clarissa has twice as many tokens as Benji we can multiply B (how many tokens Benji has) by 2.

Lastly, they have 85 tokens all together:

A + B + C = 85

We have these 3 equations:

A = C + 10

C = 2B

A + B + C = 85

Now, we can substitute some variables:

A = (2B) + 10    Since C is equal to 2B we can substitute 2B in for C in the first equation.

We have found what A equals, we can plug that in to the last equation:

(2B) + 10 + B + C = 85

We can also substitute the second equation into the third equation:

(2B) + 10 + B + 2B = 85

Combine like terms:

5B + 10 = 85

Solve

5B = 75

B = 15

This means that Benji has 15 tokens. Now we can find how much the other children have:

C = 2(15) = 30

Clarissa has 30 tokens

A = 30 + 10

A = 40

Alfred has 40 tokens.

Alfred has 40 tokens

Clarissa has 30 tokens

Benji has 15 tokens

Checking the Answer

A + B + C = 85

40 + 15 + 30 = 85

85 = 85

I hope this helps!!

answer: the anser is 3

step-by-step explanation:

c- 2o is equal to 9

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
