Answer:
The amounts of money each has are:
Joe = $92
Charlie = $29
Leila = $23
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we will convert the statements into an equation, and use that to solve for the unknowns, as follows:
total amount = $144
Let Leila's share be S
Joe's share = 4 times Leila's = 4S
Charlie's share = $6 + Leila's share = 6 + S
Joe's share + Charlie's Share + Leila's Share = $144
4S + (6 + S) + S = 144
4S + 6 + S + S = 144
4S + 2S + 6 = 144
6S + 6 = 144
6S = 144 - 6 = 138
S = 138 ÷ 6 = $23
Therefore Leila's share 'S' = $23
Joe share= 4S = 4 × 23 = $92
Charlie's share = 6 + 23 = $29
