Question

roger has twice as much money as carol. maria has 1/2 as much money as carol. Together they have $77. how much money does each have?

Answer 1

C+(C*2)+(C/2)=77
C=22
Carol: $22.00
Roger: $44.00
Maria: $11.00

Answer 2

Roger would have 4 times as much as Maria
Carol would have 2 times what Maria has

We then add everything up, how big a cut, they each have

4+2+1 = 7

Now we divide the 77 by 7

77/7 = 11

Now we just multiply by how much each of them has

Maria = 11*1 = 11
Carol = 11*2 = 22
Roger = 11*4 = 44
