The poker pool is $233. Mwins $20 more than H, M wins 53 more than Bruce and Melvin wins 71 more than Rollo. How much money does each player win at the end

Question

The total pool is $233

Answer 1

The poker pool is $233

M + H + B + R = 233

Mwins $20 more than H

M = H + 20, H = M - 20

M wins 53 more than Bruce

M = B + 53, B = M - 53

Melvin wins 71 more than Rollo

M = R + 71, R = M - 71

 

M + (M - 20) + (M - 53) + (M - 71) = 233

4M - 144 = 233

4M = 377

M = 94.25

H = 74.25

B = 41.25

R = 23.25
