Three people win a prize of $x. If the prize is divided so that the first person gets half as much money as the second person and the third gets three times as much as the second person how much will each receive
we dont know X and dont have any numbers to find X so therefore the answer is $X
+118608 Three people win a prize of $x. If the prize is divided so that the first person gets half as much money as the second person and the third gets three times as much as the second person how much will each receive
Let the 1st person get y dollars, the second gets 2y dollars and the last gets 6y dollars
Altogether that is 9y dollars
There is $x of prize
\(9y=x\\ y=\frac{$x}{9}\)
So the first person gets x/9 dollars, the second gets 2x/9 dollars and the last on gets 6x/9 dollars
