.
J=Jona; E=Evan=(1/4)J; R=Richard=E-2.55=(1/4)J-2.55
.
J+E+R=$24.15
J+((1/4)J)+((1/4)J-2.55)=$24.15
1.5J=$26.70
J=$17.80
ANSWER: Jona has $17.80
.
CHECK
E=(1/4)J=(1/4)($17.80)=$4.45
Evan has $4.45.
.
R=E-2.55=4.45-2.55=$1.90
Richard has $1.90
.
J+E+R=$24.15
$17.80+$4.45+$1.90=$24.15
$24.15=$24.15
.
