Mary’s hourly wage is twice that of John’s. John’s and Dennis’ hourly wages together total $60. If Dennis earns 1/3 of John’s rate, what does John make per hour?

Ok so Dennis makes 1/3 of johns rate. Out of 60$ if you take 45 and 15$ you get 60
and 1/3 of 45 is 15
making johns hourly 45 and Dennis 15$
