joy has three times as much money as nick. nick has $10 less than ashley. together they have $105. how much money does each have

Question

how much money will they have

Answer 1

joy has three times as much money as nick

 

j = 3n

 

nick has $10 less than ashley

 

n = a - 10, a = n + 10

 

together they have $105

n + a + j = 105

 

Substitute:

 

n + n + 10 + 3n = 105

 

5n = 95

 

n = 19

 

J = 57

 

a = 29
