Debby has 8 times as much money as Martie and Melissa has 4 times as much money as Martie. All together they have R377. How much money does Martie have ?
Debby has 8x
Martie has x and
Melissa has 4x
Therefore:
13x = 377
Divide each side by 13
13x/13 = 377/13
x = R29
8x = R232 and
4x = R116

Answer:
Martie has R29
Melissa has R116 and
Debby has R232
