Question 858099
 
 
 
Let Larry = x
Larry + Curly + Moe = $2500
{{{x + (1/3)x + x-300 = 2500}}}
Add 300 to both sides:
{{{x+(1/3)x+x=2800}}}
Combine like terms:
{{{(7/3)*x=2800}}}
Divide both sides by 7/3:
{{{x=1200}}}
Larry gets $x, Curly gets $(x/3), and Moe gets $(x-300)
Larry gets $1200, Curly gets $400, and Moe gets $900.
To check, add them all together to see if you get 2500, which you do.
