Lulu Ruby and Emma went shopping went a total of £261. Each of them had different amount of money. Lulu spent 2/3 of her money Ruby spent 1/2 of her money and Emma spent 3/4 of her money. Each of them spent the same amount of money. how much did money did they begin with? please help me on this

Lulu= £81

Ruby=£108

Emma=£ 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Lulu's money be x

Let Ruby's money be y

Let Emma's money be z

The total money they went shopping with is = £261

So

x+y+z= 261

Lulu spent 2/3 of her money Ruby spent 1/2 of her money and Emma spent 3/4 of her money.

Money spent by each

Lulu= 2/3x

Ruby=1/2y

Emma= 3/4z

Each of them spent the same amount of money.

2/3x= 1/2y= 3/4z

2/3x= 1/2y

x(2*2)/3 = y

4/3(x) = y

2/3x=3/4z

x(2*4)/(3*3)= z

8/9x= z

x+y+z= 261

x+4/3x+8/9x= 261

9x +12x +8x= 2349

29x= 2349

X= 81

4/3(x) = y

4/3(81) = y

108= y

8/9x= z

8/9(81)= z

72= z

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
