Answer:

First person: $107

Second person: $98

Third person: $93

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "f" the amount of money (in dollars) that the first person contributed to the purchase, "s" the amount of money (in dollars) that the second person contributed to the purchase and "t" the amount of money (in dollars) that the third person contributed to the purchase.

With the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following equations:

Equation 1 → f+s+t=298

Equation 2 → s=f-9

Equation 3 → t=f-14

Substitute the Equations 2 and 3 into the Equation 1 and then solve for "f":

f+(f-9)+(f-14)=298\\\\3f-23=298\\\\f=\frac{321}{3}\\\\f=107

Finally, substitute the value of "f" into the Equation 2 and then into the Equation 3, in order to find the values of "s" and "t".

Therefore, you get:

s=107-9\\\\s=98\\\\\\t=107-14\\\\t=93
