Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

The money shared by Ben and Carol was split ...

... Ben : Carol = 1 : 3

The difference of these ratio numbers is 2, and the difference in amount received is $6. Thus, each ratio unit must stand for $6/2 = $3.

... Ben received 1×$3 = $3

_____

<em>The Rest of the Story</em>

Carol received 3×$3 = $9. Together, Ben and Carol received $3 + 9 = $12, which is 4/5 of the total amount. Then the 1/5 of the total amount that Alice received is

... (1/5)×$12/(4/5) = (1/4)×$12 = $3.

The $15 of money was split ...

... Alice : Ben : Carol = $3 : $3 : $9

Can you relly much help me do this
slava [35]
Hey!
So It would be set up as .75n -2 = 10
.75 is the same as 3/4
Now add 2 to both sides
.75n = 12
now we want to get n alone so that we know what the number is, so divide .75 to both sides since it's multiplied to n
n=16
The answer is D!
Hope this helps!
