Question

Keiko, Juan, and Tony have a total of $80 in their wallets. Keiko has $5 less than Tony. Juan has 3 times what Tony has. How much does each have?

Answer 1

Explanation:

K + J + T = 80

K=T-5

J=3T

T=T

T-5 + 3T + T = 80

5T -5 = 80 --> 5T = 85 --> T = 17

now that u know T=17, substitute the value of T to find K and J

K=(17)-5 = $12

J=3(17) = $51

T= $17

Answer 2

Keiko 12 + Juan 51 + Tony 17 = $80
