Raina, Jim, and Manuel have a total of $136 in their wallets.

Question

Jim has 4 times what Manuel has. Manuel has $10 less than Raina. How much do they have in their wallets?

Answer 1

Hi, Alan!

Okay, so let's call:

X = amount of $ Manuel has

Jim has 4X amount of $

Raina has X + 10

Let's add them up:

X + 4X + X + 10 = 136

6X = 126

X = 21

 

Therefore,

Manuel has $21

Jim has $84

Raina has $31

 

Let's check our answer:

21 + 84 + 31 = 136
