Purchase

Three buyers paid €468 in total. The first paid 3 times as much as the second, and the third paid half as much again as the second. How many euros did each of them pay?

Final Answer:

a =  255.3
b =  85.1
c =  127.6

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b+c=468 a=3b c=1.5b  a=3b=255.3 Eur
b=3+1+1.5468=85.1 Eur
c=1.5b=127.6 Eur
