Question 1104172: An amount of money is to be divided to 3 people; Justin, Mark and Angela. Angela's money is half of Justin's money and Mark's money is 10 more than Angela's money. If the money is given, how much will each person get? Answer by greenestamps(13198) (Show Source):
You didn't specify the amount; so we can only set up expressions for the amounts each of them gets.
To avoid using fractions, I would rephrase "Angela's is half of Justin's" to "Justin's is twice Angela's". Then since Mark gets 10 more than Angela, I would have
x = Angela
2x = Justin
x+10 = Mark
