Answer:

The amount of money A pays is
$\$51$

Explanation:

Let

x-----> amount of money A pays

y-----> amount of money B pays

we know that

x+y=85 ------> equation A

(x)/(y)=(3)/(2)

so

y=(2)/(3)x ------> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

x+((2)/(3)x)=85

(5)/(3)x=85

$x=85*3/5=\$51$
