Question

385 dollars is cut into three parts, one part is 5 times bigger, the other is $35 more how much money is in each part

Answer 1

so the first part is p

the second part is 5p

the third part is p+35

all together, you have 7p + 35 = 385

so 7p = 350, so p = 50.

so the first part is 50, the second part is 250, and the third part is 85. together they make 385!
