Leroi’s account
$100
After first deposit = $100+$10=$110
After second deposit= $110 + $10 = $120
Sylvia’s account
$100
10% of $100 is $10
After first deposit = $100+ $10 = $110
10% of $110 = $11
After second deposit = $110 + $11 = $121
Therefore after their first deposit, both will have the same value in their accounts.
But after the second deposit, Sylvia will have 1$ more in her account than Leroi.
Let's call their parts w,m and s
if will paid 1/3, then m+s=2w (they paid 2/3, which is twice as much as will did)
Now, we know that:
Micah and Sue paid in the ratio 2:3.
this means the 3m=2s
and m=2/3s
Again:
m+s=2w
and we substitute m:
2/3s+s=2w
5/3s=2w// multiply both sides by 3
5s=6w
we also know that s=w+6 (from the last sentence) so we substitute:
5(w+6)=6w
5w+30=6w
30=w
so, Will paid 30, Sue paid 36 (six more than him), Mike paid 24 (24:36 is the same ratio as 2:3, you can check this by dividing both 24 and 36 by 12: you have 2 and 3)
and the total was 30+36+24=90.
The correct answer would be A 355.5
If you take the base number of 35.55 and multiply is by 100 it should be 3,555 cm not 355.5 cm
