Question 1050451: Jenny, Dianne and Lerma go shopping together. Dianne spent three times as the much as Lerma and half times as much as Jenny. If they spent a total amount is $5000 on shopping, how much di Jenny spend?
Answer by jorel555(1290)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let l be the amount that Lerma spent. Then Dianne spent 3l, and Jenny spent 2(3l),or 6l. So:
l+3l+6l=5000
10(l)=5000
l=500
Lerma spent $500, Dianne spent $1500, and Jenny spent $3000. ☺☺☺☺
