Question

Amount of Amy's pocket money each day is 3 times as much as the pocket money of Flora's. And the amount of Paul's pocket money is $7 more than Amy's. If they have $980 of pocket money each week, how much pocket money does Paul have each day? ​

Answer 1

Answer:-

Paul has $64 pocket money each day.

Explanantion:-

Let amy ,flora and Paul 's pocket money be x,y and z respectively.

So,

By the question :

x = 3y

So, y = x/3 - eqn i

z = 7 + x - eqn ii

7(x + y + z) = 980

x + y + z = 140

Now,

x + y+ z = 140

x + x/3 + 7 + x = 140

or, 2x + x/3 = 133

or, 6x + x = 399

so, x = 399/7

so, x = $57

Now,

z = 7 + x

= 7 + $57

= $64
