together,lucia and ben have saved $150. lucia saved $2 for every 1$ that ben saved. how much money did each person get

Answer provided by our tutors

Let

x = the amount Ben saved

2x = the amount Lucia saved

x + 2x = 150

3x = 150

x = 150/3

x = $50

2*50 = $100

Ben saves $50, while Lucia saved $100.
