Sagot :

Let's say that the money that each person has is equal to a letter:

A=Debbie, B=John, C=David.

Now we can write some equations.

"John has four times as much money as his sister Debbie who has half as much as their friend David."

B = 4A

A = 0.5C

"Together the three children have $105"

A+B+C=105

This is now a system of equations problem. Substitute to solve.

A + (4A) + C = 105

(0.5C) + 4(0.5C) + C = 105

3.5C = 105, so C = 30.

Plug this into the previous equations to get A=15 and B=60

So Debbie has $15, John has $60, and David has $30
