Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Albert = 20080 × 3/20 = 3012

Bruce = 20080 × 7/20 = 7028

Christine = 20080 × 10/20 = 10040

Answer 2

Answer:

Albert=$3012

Bruce=$7028

Christine=$10040

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the share of Albert, bruce and Christine be 3x,7x and 10x respectively

Then,

3x+7x+10x=20080

20x=20080

x=20080/20

x=1004

Therefore, the money albert got is 3x=3×1004=$3012.

The money Bruce got is 7x=7×1004=$7028.

The money Christine got is 10x=10×1004=$10040.
