Answer:

  • Total cost: $3000
  • Martha: $600
  • Emily: $75
  • Alexandra: $750
  • Laura: $75
  • Lisa: $1500

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentages add to 95%, so the dollar amounts (total $150) comprise 5% of the cost. Then the total cost is ...

  total cost × 5% = $150

  total cost = $150/0.05 = $3000

And the percentages are ...

  20% × $3000 = $600 (Martha's share)

  25% × $3000 = $750 (Alexandra's share)

  50% × $3000 = $1500 (Lisa's share)

_____

<em>Check</em>

$600 + 75 + 750 + 75 + 1500 = $3000 . . . as it should
