Question 214759
sally has saved twice as much money as jon, jeremy has saved three times as much
money as jon. find the amount each person saved if the total savings is $180.00

------
Let jon's savings be "x"
Then Sally's savings are "2x"
And Jeremy has saved "3x"
----------------------
Equation:
x + 2x + 3x = 180
6x = 180
x = 30
---------------------
Jon = x = $30
Sally = 2x = $60
Jeremy = 3x = $90
