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

A=M-547

3215 = M+C +A

4C + C + 4C -547 = 3215

9C = 3762

C = 3762/9 = $418 for Carol

M =4(418) = $1672 for Michele

A =4(418)-547 = 1672-547 = $1125 for Ally

418+1672+1125 = 3215
