Answer:

Bob Saves 168$.

Explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given That, Amy , bob and hadi saved $1012 altogether.

Thus, A + B + H = 1012 ⇒ Amy saved $85.

So, B + H = 927 ----- Equation 1

  • And Hadi saved 3 times as much as the total amount of Amy's and Bob's savings So, H = 3(A + B) ⇒ We Know Amy saved $85.

So, H - 3B = 255 ----- Equation 2

  • Now, Subtract Equation 2 from Equation 1, We get

4B = 672 ⇒ B = 168

Bob Saves 168$.
