Lesson 8: Using the If-Then Moves in Solving Equations
Example 1
Julia, Keller, and Isreal are volunteer firefighters. On Saturday the volunteer fire department held its annual coin drop
fundraiser at a street light. After one hour, Keller had collected more than Julia and Isreal had collected less
than Keller. Altogether the three firefighters collected . How much did each person collect?
Find the solution using an arithmetic approach. Identify which key If-Then Moves are used.
The amount of money Julia collected is . Write an expression in terms of to represent the amount of money Keller
collected in dollars.
Using the expressions for Julia and Keller, write an expression to represent the amount of money that Isreal collected in
dollars.
Using the expressions above, write an equation in terms of that can be used to find the amount each person collected.
Solve the equation written above to determine the number of money each person collected and describe the If-Then
moves.
