michele has 4 times as much money as chanel. ally has $547 less than michele. the three of them have $3215 altogether. how much more does ally have than chanel

Answer 1

m=4c

c=m/4

a=m-547

a+c+m=3215

m-547 + m/4 + m = $3,215

9m/4 =3215+547= 3762

m= (4/9)3762 = 4(418) = $1,672 for michelle

a=1672-547= $1,125 for ally

c=1672/4= $418 for chanelle

they sum to 3215,
