more primary 5 maths
Question 1
Toby and Tom had the same amount of pocket money. Each day, Toby spent $12 and Tom spend $15. When Tom had $18 left, Toby had 5 times as much money left as Tom. How much money did each boy have at first?
Question 2
There are a total of 1430 red, blue, green and yellow marbles in a box.
John discovers that if he does all of the following,
* doubles the number of red marbles,
* adds 40 blue marbles,
* removes 30 green marbles and
* removed half the yellow marbles,
he would get the same number of marbles for each colour. How many green marbles are there in the box?
I've actually got the solutions for these questions through a quick call to a maths goddess. I just want to know if these questions are hard or i'm just stupid.
Post your solutions in the comments ok?
