The amount of money Kim, maneet and Sutopa have is $115.6, $97.6 and $73.2 respectively.

<h3>Equation</h3>

x + (x - 18) + 3/4(x-18) = 286.40

x + x - 18 + 3/4x - 13.5 = 286.40

2 3/4x = 286.40 + 13.5 + 18

11/4x = 317.9

x = 317.9 ÷ 11/4

= 317.9 × 4 / 11

= 1,271.6 / 11

x = $115.6

So,

Kim = x

= $115.6

Maneet = x - 18

= 115.6 -18

= $97.6

Sutopa = 3/4(x-18)

= 3/4(97.6)

= $73.2
