Answer:

A = $150

B = $130

C = $140

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount received by a be $x

b receives $20 less than a;

we have that;

b = x - 20

c receives half of Sum A and B

c = (x + x-20)/2

c = (2x-20)/2

c = x - 10

Add all and it gives 420

x - 10 + x -20 + x = 420

3x -30 = 420

3x = 420 + 30

3x = 450

x = 450/3

x =$150

a = 150

b = x - 20; 150 - 20 = 130

c = x-10

c = 150-10

c = $140

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

400 people

Step-by-step explanation:

15 = 12

500 = x

Cross multiply

15x = 12 × 500

Divide both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{12 * 500}{15}  (* means multiplication if you do not know)

\frac{12 * 500}{15} = 100 × 4= 400 people
