Question

Bernie, Eddy and Gery share £450 Bernie gets twice as much as Eddy who gets three times as much as Gery. Work out how much they each get.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bernie- £270, Eddy- £135, Gery- £45

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money- £450

Bernie gets- b, Eddy gets- e, Gery gets- g

Given: b=2e & e=3g

So if we sum up what we have:

b+e+g=450

2e+3g+g=450

2*3g+3g+g=450

10g=450

g=£45

e=3g=3*45=£135

b=2e=2*135=£270

So, the answer is:

Bernie gets- £270, Eddy gets- £135, Gery gets- £45
