Daisy, jo and Flor have P268 together, jo has 15 less than Daisy and Flor has twice as much money as jo. How much money do Daisy and jo have together?

 

Answer: P141.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Heres the list of the money that each of them have. Let x be the money of Daisy.

Daisy = x

Jo = x - 15

Flor = 2(x - 15)

Solution:

Getting the amount of money that Daisy (x) have.

x + x - 15 + 2(x - 15)= 268

x + x - 15 + 2x - 30 = 268

4x - 45 = 268

4x = 268 + 45

4x = 313

4x/4 = 313/4

x = 78.25

Getting the amount of money Jo (x - 15) has by substitution.

Jo = x - 15

Jo = 78.25 - 15

Jo = 63.25

Now, lets add Daisy and Jos money to know the answer.

78.25 + 63.25 = 141.5

Therefore, Daisy and Jo have money of P141.5 together.
