Question

Latoya, Kevin, and Milan have a total of $117 in their wallets. Milan has 4 times what Latoya has. Latoya has $9 less than Kevin. How much do they have in

their wallets?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let Kevin have x dollars. Then Latoya has x - 9 dollars and Milan has 4(x - 9) dollars.

x + (x-9) + 4(x-9) = 177

7x - 40 = 177

7x = 217

x = 31

Kevin has $31

Latoya has 31 - 9= $22

Milan has 4*24 = $96
