Final answer:
Using algebra, we find that under the given conditions, Jina has $20, Dan has $12, and Alan has $60. However, these figures do not match the answer choices provided, suggesting an error in the question or options.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks us to determine how much money Jina, Dan, and Alan have in their wallets based on the given relationships among the amounts each of them has. We know that the total amount is $92, Dan has $8 less than Jina, and Alan has 3 times what Jina has.
Step-by-step Solution:
- Let's denote Jina's amount as J. Then Dan has J - $8, and Alan has 3J.
- The total amount they have is J + (J - $8) + 3J = $92.
- Simplifying the equation gives us 5J - $8 = $92.
- Adding $8 to both sides gives us 5J = $100.
- Dividing both sides by 5 gives us J = $20.
- Now we know that Jina has $20, Dan has $20 - $8 = $12, and Alan has 3 x $20 = $60.
- However, none of these amounts add up to the options provided in the question, indicating a possible typo or error in the provided choices.
Based on the correct calculations, Jina has $20, Dan has $12, and Alan has $60. Since these amounts do not match any of the provided answer choices, there appears to be an error in the multiple-choice options listed with the question.
