Math Puzzle 1
Generous Gifts
A generous man set aside a certain sum of money for equal distribution
weekly to the needy of his acquaintance. One day he remarked, "If there
are five fewer applicants next week, you will each receive two dollars
more.“ Unfortunately, instead of there being fewer there were actually
four more persons applying for the gift.
"This means," he pointed out,
"that you will each receive one dollar less."
How much did each person receive at that last distribution?

A generous man set aside a certain sum of money for equal distribution
weekly to the needy of his acquaintance. One day he remarked, "If there
are five fewer applicants next week, you will each receive two dollars
more.“ Unfortunately, instead of there being fewer there were actually
four more persons applying for the gift.
"This means," he pointed out,
"that you will each receive one dollar less."
How much did each person receive at that last distribution?
At first there were twenty persons,
and each received $6.00. Then fifteen
persons (five fewer) would have received $8.00
each.
But twenty-four (four more) appeared
and only received $5.00 each.
The amount distributed weekly was thus $120
