Question

Maria, Justin, and Chris have a total of $135 in their wallets. Maria has $10 more than Chris. Justin has 3 times what Chris has. How much does each have

Answer 1

Chris = $25

Maria = $35

Justin = $75

Explanation:

Chris's amount is x.

x + 3x + (x + 10) = 135

x = 25

Substitute 25 for x.

25 + 3(25) + (25 + 10) = 135

135 = 135

True
