Bob, Ali, and Glen went shopping. The combined bill for all of them was $780. If Ali and Glen spent the same amount, and Bob spent as much as both Ali and Glen, then how much did each person spend?

             SPENT
Bob          x+x
Ali          x
Glen         x
TOTAL       $780

4x=780
x=780%2F4
highlight%28x=195%29

Bob spent 390 dollars.
Ali spent 195 dollars.
Glen spent 195 dollars.
