Question 1025906: Jerry Frank and Scott share food expenses each month because he eats only one meal a day at home. Jerry pay $75 less each month then either Frank or Scott. Scott and Frank paid equal amounts. If last month's total bill came to $411 what was Jerry share?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Scott and Frank pay the same amount, we'll call this amount x.
Jerry pays 75 less, so he pays x-75.
So we have:
2x+x-75 = 411
3x = 486
x = 162 this is how much each Scott and Frank pay, and Jerry:
162-75 = 85 is how much Jerry pays
