Answer 1

Explanation:

5x + 9x + 10x = $240

x = $10

Brian got 5x = $50

Tim got 9x = $90

Kenny got 10x = $100

Answer 2

$50 for Brian

$90 for Tim

$100 for Kenny

Explanation:

Let 5x = amt for Brian

9x = amt for tim

10x = amt for ken

5x + 9x + 10x = 240

24x = 240

x = 10

5x = 5(10) = $50 for Brian

9x = 9(10) = $90 for Tim

10x = 10(10) = $100 for Kenny
