Answer provided by our tutors
let
k = the amount Kobe has
a = the amount Amari has
d = the amount DJ has
Kobe has 18.50 more than Amari:
k = 18.50 + a
DJ has 12.25 less than kobe:
d = k - 12.25
Together they have 95.70:
k + a + d = 95.70
by solving the system of equations:
k = 18.50 + a
d = k - 12.25
k + a + d = 95.70
we find:
k = $42.15
a = $23.65
d = $29.90
