Answer:
Kelly owes $16.5
Greg owes $33
Joe owes $64.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Kelly's portion = x
Greg's portion = 2x
Joe's portion = 4x - 1.50
Total bill = $114.00
Total bill = Kelly's portion + Greg's portion + Joe's portion
114 = x + 2x + (4x - 1.50)
114 = 3x + 4x - 1.50
114 = 7x - 1.50
Add 1.50 to both sides
114 + 1.50 = 7x - 1.50 + 1.50
115.5 = 7x
Divide both sides by 7
x = 115.5 / 7
= 16.5
x = $16.5
Kelly's portion = x
x = $16.5
Greg's portion = 2x
= 2 × 16.5
= $33
Joe's portion = 4x - 1.50
= 4(16.5) - 1.50
= 66 - 1.50
= $64.5
Therefore,
Kelly owes $16.5
Greg owes $33
Joe owes $64.5
