If Patricai and Rudi spend $12 and $6 each day respectively, Rudi will still have $300 when Patricia spent all her money. If Patricia and Rudi spend $6 and $12 each day respectively, Rudi will still have $120 when Patricia spent all her money. How much money has each child?

  Hi,

    Try using the guess-and-check method with the help of tables?

  1st situation

  Patricia   Rudi

  84           342

  96           348

  ...

  2nd situation

  Patricia   Rudi

  90           300

  96           312

  ...

    Stop listing when both match.

    Thanks!

  Cheers,
  Wen Shih
