<PRE><B>Question 722363</B>
 Payrolls for the 3 highest paid baseball teams (the Yankees, Red Sox, and Angels) for 2006 totaled 418 million. If the team payroll for 
the Yankees is 75 million dollars higher than the Red Sox and the 
Red sox is 17 million dollars higher than the Angels, then what was the 2006 payroll for each team? 
My work:
Yankees= 75+R = 75+17+A = 92+A (R stands for Red Sox)
Red Sox= 17+A (A stands for Angels)
Angels= X 
------
Equation:
A + 17+A + 92+A = 418
3A + 109 = 418
3A = 309
A = 103
----------
etc.
