<PRE><B>Question 862557</B>
Debby has 8 times as much money as Martie and Melissa has 4 times as much money as Martie. All together they have R377. How much money does Martie have ?

Debby has 8x

Martie has x and

Melissa has 4x

Therefore:

13x = 377

Divide each side by 13

13x/13 = 377/13

x = R29

8x = R232 and

4x = R116


Answer:

Martie has R29

Melissa has R116 and

Debby has R232
