Tina,Dawn, and Harry have $175.00 together. Tina has 3 times as much money as Dawn. Dawn has twice as much money as harry. How much money does each have?
---------------------------------------------------
Let Harry have "x" dollars.
Then Dawn has "2x" dollars.
And Tina has 3(2x) = "6x" dollars
----------------------------------
EQUATION:
x + 2x + 6x = 175 dollars
9x = 175
x = $19.44 (Harry's amount)
2x = $38.89 (Dawn's amount)
6x = $116.67 (Tina's amount)
