Question

Martha divides $94 amongst her friends. Leon gets twice as much money as K. Jill gets five more dollars than Leon. Isaac gets $10 less dollars than k. How much money does each friend get?

Answer 1

Let me see if I can solve this on my own.

So $94 is the first amount.

It got divided so, 94÷2 = $47

So, It's either $47 or this.

47 + 47 (or times 2) = 94 again. But gets five more dollars than Leon. So 94+5= 99 then -10 = 89 but 89 ÷ 2 = 44.5 but since money can't really be half. It's eithier $44 or $45 but in my opinion is $45.

So, these are the most reasonable answers. $47 or $45. You can pick the answer that you thinks makes more sense. This took a long time so I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Leon gets money=$39.6

Jill gets money=$44.6

Issac gets money=$9.8

Explanation:

We are given that Martha divides $94 amongst her friends.

We have to find that how much money each friend get .

Given k be any number .

Leon gets money =2k

Jill gets money=2k+5

Issac get money=k-10

According to question

`2k+2k+5+k-10=94`

`5k-5=94`

`5 k=94+5`

`k=(99)/(5)`

`k=19.8`

Leon gets money=
`2* 19.8`

Leon gets money=$39.6

Jill gets money=$39.6+5=$44.6

Issac gets money=$19.8-10=$9.8
