Answer provided by our tutors
let
a = the amount the A gets
b = the amount that B gets
c = the amount that C gets
Divide $460 among A,B and C:
a + b + c = 460
B has $50 more than A:
b = a + 150
C has as much as A and B together:
c = a + b
by solving the system of equations:
a + b + c = 460
b = a + 150
c = a + b
we find:
a = $40
b = $190
c = $230

A will get $40, B will get $190 and C will get $230.
