Answer:

Ramon pays $240.

Step-by-step explanation:

30% of $960 is $288, so Glen pays $288

0.45 = 45%

45% of $960 is $432, so Andre pays $432

30% + 45% = 75% meaning Ramon pays 100% - 75% which is 25%.

25% of $960 is $240. So, Ramon pays $240.

You could also add up the payments of Andre and Glen and subtract that sum from $960 to get the same answer.
