Answer:
Brian had $30 initially.Brian had $30 initially.
Step-by-step explanation:
WE are given the following in the question:
Let Brian have x dollars and Colin have y dollars.
Ration of Brian's money to Colin's money is 5:1. This, we can write the equation:

"Brian spent £27 that day. Brian now had £3 less than Colin."
Thus, we can write the equation:

Solving the two equation by substitution, we get,

Thus, Brian had $30 initially.
Her school is 2/3 miles away
2/3=4/6miles
So we need to find out how long it will take for her to run home from school...
School=4/6 miles
In 1 minutes she can run 1/6 miles
1min=1/6miles
In 2 minutes she can run 1/6+1/6 miles (1/6+1/6=2/6)
2min=2/6miles
3min=3/6miles
4min=4/6miles
It will take Erica 4 minutes to run 4/6 miles, so it'll take her 4 minutes to get home.
600 ---> 250
600 - 250 = 350
350 / 5 = 70
Average decrease in value per year: $70
