Question

Tony has twice as much money as Alicia. She has $16 less than Ralph. Together they have $200. How much money does each have?

Answer 1

Let's make X Alicia's price.

200=(2x)+(x)+(x+16)
200=4x+16
184=4x
46=X.

Now, since we know that Tony has twice as much, then his equation would be 2x, or $92.

We also know that Ralph has $16 more than her. So, x+16=62.

Ralph=$62, Tony=$96, and Alicia=$46.
