Alice has nine dollars.
Bob has the same amount of money as the sum of all of Alice's money and half of Carol's money.
b = .5c + 9
Carol has the same amount of money as Alice and Bob combined.
c = b + 9
replace b with (.5c+9)
c = .5c+9 + 9
c -.5c = 18
.5c = 18
c = 36
Find b
b = .5(36) + 9
b = 27
:
If the three people pool their money , how much cash will they have in all?
a + b + c
9 + 27 + 36 = $72
