Question

Dasher spent half as much as prancer did on holiday presents this year and cupid spent 3 times more than dasher. If the total spent between the three of them was $720, how much did they each spend on gifts?

Answer 1

Answer:

Dasher spent $120, Prancer spent $240, and Cupid spent $360

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 720 by 2 and you get 360, which was cupids total. There is 360 left. Subtract 360 by 240 because Dasher spent half as much as prancer did. You get 120, which is Dasher's total. The 240 you subtracted is Prancer's total.
