result, for Lucy, Miguel and Sam

Question

Lucy, Sam and Miguel have $122 total in their wallets. Sam has fourth times what miguel has. Miguel has $8 less than Lucy. How much do they have in their wallets

Answer 1

S=4M

M=L-8

S+M+L = 122

4M+M +M+8 = 122

6M = 122 -8 = 114

M = 114/6 = $19 for Miguel

L= $27 for Lucy

S=4(19) = $76 for Sam

19+27+76 = 122
