Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Xavier, Yolanda and Zara shared some money.
Let x represent Xavier's share
Let y represent Yolanda's share
Let z represent Zara's share.
Yolanda received 40% more money than Xavier. This means that
y = x + 40/100×x = x + 0.4x = 1.4x
Zara received 60% of Yolanda's share. This means that
z = 60/100× 1.4 = 0.6×1.4 = 0.84x
. If Zara received $1,176, then,
0.84x = 1176
x = 1176/0.84 = 1400
y = 1.4 × 1400 = $1960
z = 0.84 × 1400 = $1176
The sum of the money is
1400 + 1960 + 1176 = $4536
