The amount of money Kim, maneet and Sutopa have is $115.6, $97.6 and $73.2 respectively.
Equation
- Kim = x
- Maneet = x - 18
- Sutopa = 3/4(x-18)
- Total = $286.40
x + (x - 18) + 3/4(x-18) = 286.40
x + x - 18 + 3/4x - 13.5 = 286.40
2 3/4x = 286.40 + 13.5 + 18
11/4x = 317.9
x = 317.9 ÷ 11/4
= 317.9 × 4 / 11
= 1,271.6 / 11
x = $115.6
So,
Kim = x
= $115.6
Maneet = x - 18
= 115.6 -18
= $97.6
Sutopa = 3/4(x-18)
= 3/4(97.6)
= $73.2
