Wesley, Denzel, and Earvin all pitched in to buy a VCR. Wesley paid twice as much as Earvin, and Earvin paid 3 times as much as Denzel. Together, the trio spent $360. How much did Earvin pay?

W + d + e = 360

w = 2e

e = 3d ... d = e/3

2e + e/3 + e = 360 ... multiply by 3

6e + e + 3e = 1080

10e = 1080

e = 1080/10

e = 108 < = = = Earvin paid $ 108

w = 2e

w = 2 (108)

w = 216

d = e/3

d = 108/3

d = 36
