$120 is to be divided among three people. Angie made $10 more than Marie. Gwen made $25 less than Marie. How much money should each server get?
Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x be the money that Marie made, then
Angie made x+10 and Gwen made x-25, therefore we have
x + x+10 +x-25 = 120
3x -15 = 120
3x = 135
x = 45
Marie made $45, Angie made $55, and Gwen made $20
