Problema Solution

please solve for me: Mary earns three times as much as Maureen. if x represents the amount that Maureen earns per week, then 3x represents the amount that Mary earns per week. how much does Mary earn per week if Maureen earns $378 per week? please write out as equation Thank You, Ray

Answer provided by our tutors

let the amount mary earns = y, the amount maureen earns = x

y = 3x

if x is $378,

y = 3(378) = 1134

Therefore Mary would earn $1134 per week if Maureen earns $378 per week.
