Answer:
Answer: Amount in Chris’s wallet: $13
Amount in Donna's wallet: $20
Amount in Austin's wallet: $60
Solution:
Let the amount in Chris’s wallet be $x
Donna has $7 more than Chrish's wallet = $(x + 7)
Austin has 3 times than Donna's wallet = $3(x + 7)
According to the problem, Donna, chris, and Austin have a total of $93 in their wallets.
Therefore,
x + (x + 7) + 3(x + 7) = 93
x + x + 7 + 3x + 21 = 93
5x + 28 = 93
- 28 -28 (subtract 28 from both sides)
5x = 65
or, 5x/5 = 65/5 (Divide both sides by 5)
x = 13
Amount in Chris wallet = $x = $13
Amount in Donna's wallet = $(x + 7) = $(13 + 7) = $20
Amount in Austin 's wallet = $3(x + 7) = $3(13 + 7) = $3(20) = $ 60
Answer: Amount in Chris’s wallet: $13 Amount in Donna's wallet: $20
Amount in Austin's wallet: $60
