Answer:
first collects 17, second 34 and third 29
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount to be shared = 80.00
If first person received x
second received y
Third received z
If the second will have twice as much as the first, then;
y = 2x
x = y/2
If the third will have P. 5.00 less than the second, then
z = y-5
y = z+5
Substitute both equation in original equation
x+y+z = 80
y/2 + y + y-5 = 80
y + 2y + 2y -10 = 160
5y = 160+10
5y = 170
y = 170/5
y = 34
x = y/2
x = 34/2
x = 17
z = y - 5
z = 34-5
z = 29
Hence the first collects 17, second 34 and third 29
