We know that the amounts earned by Dawn, Doug and Dale are from the list of numbers: $9.35, $8.52 and $8.25
We also know that Dale and Doug earned close to $9.00
And that Dawn earned $1.10 less than Dale
Let the amount earned by Dale be x
⇒ Amount earned by Dawn is x - 1.1
If we notice the list of numbers, we see that $9.35 and $8.25 differ by $1.1
Hence, Dale earned $9.35 and Dawn earned $8.25
We are now left with $8.52, which should be the amount earned by Doug. This is correct, since we also know that Doug earned close to $9.
Hence, the amounts earned are:
Dale: $9.35
Doug: $8.52
Dawn: $8.25
