Question 108400
Aaron, Beth Candance, John and Pat ran around a track as part of a fundraiser for their school Aaron ran first and then when he was tired, Beth ran. When Beth got tired, Candace ran, and so on. By the end of the fundraiser, 
they had run a total of 30 miles. 
Aaron and Beth combined ran 40% of the total distance.
A + B = 12 miles
 
Beth and Candace combined ran 34% of the total distance.
B + C = 10.2 miles 
Candace and John combined ran 40% of the total distance.
C + J = 12 miles 
John and Pat combined ran 41% of the total distance.
J + P = 12.3 miles 
How far did each person run?
--------------------
 A + B + C + J + P = 30
 A + (10.2-C) + C + J + (12.3-J) = 30
A + 10.2 + 12.3 = 30
A = 7.5 miles
B = 12 - 7.5 = 4.5 miles
C = 10.2 - 4.5 = 5.7 miles
J = 12 - 5.7 ] = 6.3 miles
P = 12.3 - 6.3 = 6 miles
