<PRE><B>Question 545777</B>
&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot;&gt;Let {{{J}}} stand for Jenny.&lt;br&gt;

Briana receives {{{3*J}}}&lt;br&gt;

Julius receives {{{4*J}}}&lt;br&gt;

Then we know that {{{J+(3J)+(4J)=48}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{J+3J+4J=48}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{8J=48}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{J=6}}}&lt;br&gt;

Jenny should receive 6 dollars, while Briana receives 18, and Julius receives 24.&lt;br&gt;

That is a total of 48 dollars, which agrees with our given facts.&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!  :)&lt;br&gt;</PRE>
