Ava, Zoe and Logan went to the market to buy some presents for a friend's birthday. The three of them

together spent $720. If Logan spent twice as much Zoe did and Zoe spent $40 less than Ava did, how
much did each of them spend?

a + z + l = 720

l = 2z = 2a - 80

4z + 40 = 720

4z = 680

z = 170

l = 340

a = 210
