Question 834368
Amy,Joe and David have a total of $135 in their wallets. Joe has $10 more than Amy. David has 3 times what Amy has. How much does each have ?


Let their wallets have:

Amy = x

Joe = x + 10 and

David = 3x


Therefore:


x + x + 10 + 3x = $135

2x + 3x + 10 = 135

5x + 10 = 135

5x = 125

x = $25


Answer:


Amy has $25, Joe has $35 and David has $75
