Question 1175615
.
<pre>

Let C = x;

then B = 3x  and  A = 3x+52.


You are given  


    A - C = 100,  or

    (3x + 52) - x = 100,

     2x           = 100-52 = 48

      x                    = 48/2 = 24.


C had 24 dollars;  B had  3*24 = 72 dollars;  A had 72 + 52 = 124 dollars.


Together, they had   24 + 72 + 124 = 220 dollars.      <U>ANSWER</U>
