Answer 1

We know that the amounts earned by Dawn, Doug and Dale are from the list of numbers: $9.35, $8.52 and $8.25

We also know that Dale and Doug earned close to $9.00

And that Dawn earned $1.10 less than Dale

Let the amount earned by Dale be x

⇒ Amount earned by Dawn is x - 1.1

If we notice the list of numbers, we see that $9.35 and $8.25 differ by $1.1

Hence, Dale earned $9.35 and Dawn earned $8.25

We are now left with $8.52, which should be the amount earned by Doug. This is correct, since we also know that Doug earned close to $9.

Hence, the amounts earned are:

Dale: $9.35

Doug: $8.52

Dawn: $8.25
