Question

Maria, Kevin, and Dan have a total of 96$ in their wallets. Dan has 6$ less than Maria. Kevin has 3 times what Dan has. How much do they have in their wallets?

Answer 1

Hi Keke,

Let Amy have x dollars. Then Jose has x - 8 dollars and Milan has 4(x - 8) dollars.

x + (x-8) + 4(x-8) = 152

6x - 40 = 152

6x = 192

x = 32

Amy has $32

Jose has 32 - 8 = $24

Milan has 4*24 = $96
