This is TOTALLY UNNECESSARY info./NOT BEEDED: Tony will have 1/3 of what Shawn has.
Shawn and Jeffrey have a total of $150
Since Shawn has the same as Jeffrey after receing $30, then Jeffrey must have $30 more than Shawn
Therefore, Jeffrey must have $90 and Shawn: $60
OR
Let amount Shawn has be S
Then Jeffrey has 150 - S
Adding $30 to Shawn's amount gives him S + 30
Shawn then has the same amount as Jeffrey so we have: S + 30 = 150 - S
2S = 120
Amount Shawn has, or .
