Kason · Answer 1

C + (C*2) + (C/2) = 77

C=22

Carol: $22.00

Roger: $44.00

Maria: $11.00

Lawrence Mccullough · Answer 2

Roger would have 4 times as much as Maria

Carol would have 2 times what Maria has

We then add everything up, how big a cut, they each have

4+2+1 = 7

Now we divide the 77 by 7

77/7 = 11

Now we just multiply by how much each of them has

Maria = 11*1 = 11

Carol = 11*2 = 22

Roger = 11*4 = 44
