Question

Mai, Ravi, and Alonzo have a total of $116 in their wallets. Alonzo has 4times what Ravi has. Mai has $10 less than Ravi. How much does each have?

Answer 1

Ravi has = x

Mai has = x-10

Alonzo = 4x

 

x+x-10+4x = 116

 

6x -10 =116

 

6x =126

x =21

 

Ravi has = x =$21
Mai has = x-10=21-10=$11
Alonzo = 4x=4(21)=$84
