You can put this solution on YOUR website! Bridget, Laura and Reagan shared a sum of money. Bridgets share is 40% of the money. Reagans share was $4 more than Lauras. Laurras share was $16. How much money did they share all together?
Bridget shares 0.40 of the money.
Let m = money
So, Bridget = 0.40(m).
Reagan shares $4 MORE than Lauras who shares $16.
This tells me that Reagan's shares is $4 + $16 = $20.
Reagan's share + Lauras' share = $36.
What is 40 percent of 36?
Bridget has 0.40 times 36 = $14.40
Together = $14.40 + $16 + $20
Together = $50.40
