The amount spent by Seedevi is $66

<h3>How to determine the amount spent by Seedevi?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Seedevi = half as much money as Georgia,

Seedevi = $6 more than Amy

The three of them = $258

To solve this question, we use the following representations

x = Seedevi

y = Georgia

z = Amy

So, we have the following equations

x = 0.5y

x = 6 + z

x + y + z = 258

Make y and z the subjects

y = 2x

z = x - 6

Substitute y = 2x and z = x - 6 in x + y + z = 258

x + 2x + x - 6 = 258

Evaluate the like terms

4x = 264

Divide by 4

x = 66

Hence, the amount spent by Seedevi is $66
