Answer 1

246.000

Explanation:

Well If you take it and Line it up like this,

(A)Amy; 58.75

(J)Jeremy; A+23.25

(O)Oscar; A+23.25= ?x3

This is an easy way to find out what it is you need to do, So A+23.25 is 58.75+23.2 which should give you the value of 82, which brings you to the next step of A+23.25= ?x3 which in this you only wanna focus on the ?x3, we now know ?= 82 so this brings it to 82 times 3 which gives you a value of 246. Thus giving you your answer.

Hope this helps.
