Answer: Jim earned $11, Tom earned=$16, Bill earned=$33
Explanation:
Let Jim earned $x
Hence, Tom earned $(x+5)
Bill earnen $(3x)
Thus,
3x+(x+5)+x=60
3x+x+5+x=60
5x+5=60
5x+5-5=60-5
5x=55
Divide both parts of the equation by 5:
x=$11
Hence, Jim earned $11
Tom earned $(11+5)=$16
Bill earned $(3(11))=$33
