Number of books each of them have:
Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)
There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24 / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200 / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40
Doublecheck:
Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102
102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)

Answer:
$13,400
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple Interest = principal × rate × time
principal= $9000
Rate= 12/100=0•12
Time=5years
Simple interest =PRT
= 9000× 0•12 × 5
= 5400
Total amount to be paid = 9000 + 5400
= $13400
