Question 38959: Hi! If you could can you help me on this problem?
Elena has one and a half times as much money as Ramon. Together they have $225. How much does each have?
Thanks.

Let r = the amount Ramon has.
Thus Elena has one and a half times as much or (3/2)r.
So we have
r + (3/2)r = 225
(5/2)r = 225
Now multiply by 2/5 and get
r = $90
The Elena has (3/2)($90) = $135.
