You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
A, B, C, and D invest $s. B invests m times as much as A, C as much as A and B combined, and D as much as C and B combined.
Determine amount each invests.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let A invested x dollars.
Then B invested mx dollars.
C invested x + mx dollars.
D invested mx + (c+mx).
Still not enough info to make an equation and to solve for x.
Conclusion. Although a lot of data is given, the input is still not enough to solve the problem and answer your question.
