The crew on fishing boat caught four fish weighing a total of 1092 pounds. The tarpon weighed twice as much as the amberjack and
the white marlin weighed twice as much as the the tarpon. The weight of the tuna was 5 times the weight the amberjack. How much did each fish weigh?
2 answers:
X= weight of amberjack
2x= weight of tarpon
4x= weight of marlin
5x= weight of tuna
x + 2x + 4x + 5x= 1092
12x=1092
x= 91
Amberjack weighs 91 pounds
Tarpon= 2 x 91 = 182 pounds
Marlin= 4 x 91= 364 pounds
Tuna = 5 x 91 = 455 pounds
Ta = tarpon
am = amberjack
wm = white marlin
tu = tuna
ta + am + wm + tu = 1092
ta = 2 * am
wm = 2 * ta = 4 * am
tu = 5 * am
2 * am + 4 * am + 5 * am + am = 12 am = 1092
am = 91
ta = 2 * 91 = 182
etc...

If he goes there 4 times a week then $8 plus $2 equals $10 and times $10 by 4 times a week equals $40
So Elijah spends $40 a week at the restaurant
I would think it would be 200km before rob caught up with him?
