Answer 1

Answer: 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mindy has Rs x, Kaitlen has Rs x-6, Lauren has Rs x-12

So, x+(x-6)+(x-12) = 75

3x = 93

x = 31

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money which mindy has be $x

Then , Kaitlen has $ x - 6

and Lauren has $ x - 12

As per given in the question :-

All Together had $75

So :- x + ( x - 6 ) + ( x - 12 ) = 75

       3x -18 = 75

       3x = 93

         x  = $31

.*. Mindy has $x = $31

   Kaitlen has $x-6 = $31 - 6 = $25

   Lauren has $ x-12  = $31-12 = $ 19
