Question

Answer


(1) A+B+C+D = 60
(2) B+C+D = 2A
(3) C+D = (3/2)B
(4) D = (1/3)C
a) Substituting (2) into (1):
3A = 60
So A = $20 #
b) Substituting (3) into (2):
(5/2)B = 2A
But A=20, so B = (2/5)(40) = $16
Substituting (4) into (3):
(4/3)C = (3/2)B
But B=16, so C = (3/4)(24) = $18
So D = (1/3)(18) = $6
Therefore B received $16-$6 = $10 more than D.
I did this by simultaneous equations… would be grateful if someone can come up with the model answer.
