Question 934547: Mrs. Haines, Mrs. Nuemann and Mrs. Dowd shared a sum of money. Mrs. Haines took 1/3 of the total amount, Mrs. Nuemann took 1/4 of the remaining money. After both of them had taken their share, Mrs. Dowd took 1/2 of what was left. If Mrs. Haines took $160, how much did Mrs. Dowd take?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = dollars for haines = 160
y = dollars for nuemann
z = dollars for dowd
w = total amount
---
x = w/3
160 = w/3
w = 160*3
w = 480
---
y = (480 - 160)/4
y = 80
---
z = (480 - 160 - 80)/2
z = dollars for dowd = 120
