<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let *[tex \LARGE x] represent Maria's expense.  Then *[tex \LARGE x\ -\ 10] is Amy's, and *[tex \LARGE 2(x\ -\ 10)] is Sadie's.  And the sum is $310.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ +\ x\ -\ 10\ + 2(x\ -\ 10)\ =\ 310]


Solve for *[tex \LARGE x], then calculate *[tex \LARGE x\ -\ 10] and *[tex \LARGE 2(x\ -\ 10)]
