Problema Solution

LEa had $134, and Drew had $180. After both of them spent an equal amount of money shopping, Drew had 3 times as much money as Lea. How much did each of them spend?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' be the money that each of them has spent shopping


180 - x = 3*(134 - x)


180 - x = 402 - 3x


3x - x = 402 - 180


2x = 222


x = 222/2


x = $111


each of them spent $111.
