Question

Elsa, Chang, and Bob have a total of 104 in their wallets. Chang has 3 times what Bob has. Elsa has 6 more than Bob. How much does each have?

Answer 1

Bob=19.60

Elsa=25.60

Chang=58.80

Explanation:

(E)lsa + (C)hang + (B)ob=104

C=3B

E=B+6

substitute

(B+6)+3B+B=104

5B+6=104

5B=98

5B/5=98/5

B=19.60

E=19.60+6=25.60

C=3(19.60)=58.80
