  • Question
  • Mac has £ 3 more than Ken, but then Ken wins on the horses and trebles his money, so that he now has £ 2 more than the original amount of money that the two boys had between them. How much money did Mac and Ken have between them before Ken's win?


  • Options
  • A. £ 9
  • B. £ 11
  • C. £ 13
  • D. £ 15

  • Correct Answer
  • £ 13 

    Explanation
    Let money with Ken = x. Then, money with Mac = x + £ 3.

    Now, 3x = (x + x + £ 3) + £ 2 ⟺ x = £ 5.

    Therefore Total money with Mac and Ken = 2x + £ 3 = £ 13.
