Question

Carlos has 275% as much money as Mariame. Together they have $90. How much money does Mariame have?

Answer 1

$24.

Explanation:

Let's say Carlos has $c of money, and Mariame has $m of money.

c = 2.75m

c + m = 90

2.75m + m = 90

3.75m = 90

m = 24

c + 24 = 90

c = 66

So, Mariame has $24 and Carlos has $66.

Hope this helps!
