Three brothers spent different amounts of money on their recent vacation. Matt spent $25 less than Todd. Jeff spent 3 times as much as Matt. How much did each brother spend if they spent a total of $275?
Ok lets say that (a) is Todd's amount so a + (a-25) + 3(a-25) = $275 5a = 375 x = $75, Todd's amount And now we can check the three amount $75 + $50 + $150 = $275 Hope it helped
