Travis Jessica and Robin are collecting donations for the school band Travis wants to collect 20% more than Jessica Robin wants to collect 35% more than Travis if the students meet their goals and Travis cliques $43 how much money did they collect in all

All together they collected $ 135.35

43/ .20= 8.6

So you do 43-8.6 to get how much Jessica collected which is $34.40.

Then to get Robins you do .35 ×43 which gets you $15.05 but then you have to add that to Travis money to get how much robin collected which is $58.05. But then you have to add them together 34.40+43+58.05 which is $135.45. So altogether they collected $135.05 in all.

Travis collects $43, and robin has 1.35 of Travis, so robin has 43*1.35=58.05

Travis has 1.20 of the amount Jessica has, so 43/1.20=the amount Jessica has=35.83.


Travis=43

Robin=58.05

Jessica=35.83


they have total of 136.88


Hope this helped!
