Question 1002654: Laura, Ravi, and Joe have a total of
$83
in their wallets. Joe has
3
times what Laura has. Ravi has
$8
more than Laura. How much does each have? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Call their amounts L, R and J.
L + R + J = 83
J = 3L
R = L + 8
Substitute these last two into the first one and get
L + (L + 8) + 3L = 83
5L + 8 = 83
5L = 75
L = 15
R = 23
J = 45
