Amanda, Tom, and Dale have $142 in their wallets. Tom has $8 less than amanda. Dale has 4 times what Amanda has. How much does each have? THIS IS URGENT!!! PLEASE ANSWER ASAP THANK YOU! NO INAPPROPRIATE ANSWERS!

Answer 1

Let money held by Amanda, Tom and Dale be a,t and d respectively.

$a + t + d = 142$

$a - t = 8$

$d = 4a$

Now, from equation 2

$t = a - 8$

Using values of t and d in 1st equation

$a + a - 8 + 4a = 142$

$6a = 150$

$a = 25$

Using value of a in 2nd equation

$25 - t = 8$

$t = 17$

Using value of a in 3rd equation

$d = 4 \times 25$

$d = 100$

Therefore,

Amanda has 25$

Tom has 17$

Dale has 100$
