Answer:

Henry has $19, Dan has $57, and Melissa has $11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent how much money Henry has

Since Dan has 3 times what Henry has, his amount is 3x

Since Melissa has $8 less than Henry, her amount is x - 8

Create an equation that sets these 3 values equal to 87, then solve for x

(x) + (3x) + (x - 8) = 87

5x - 8 = 87

5x = 95

x = 19

So, Henry has $19

Find how much Dan has by multiplying 19 by 3

19(3)

= 57

Find how much Melissa has by subtracting 8 from 19

19 - 8

= 11

So, Henry has $19, Dan has $57, and Melissa has $11

ipn [44]
If you draw only 25 balls, you could draw the 25 odd-numbered balls.  However, there will then be no odd-numbered balls left, so when you draw two more you will be guaranteed to get two even-numbered balls.  Thus, the minimum is 25+2=27 balls.
