Tina, Dawn and Harry have $1175 together. Tina has three times as much money as Dawn. Dawn has twice as much money as Harry. How much money does each have?
--------------
Let amount Harry has be "x"
Then Dawn has "2x"
Tina has 3*2x = 6x
-----------------------
EQUATION:
x + 2x + 6x = 1175
9x = 1175
x = 130.56
-----------
Harry has $130.56
Dawn has $261.11
Tina has $783.33
