Answer:
Faisal receives $241
Ahmed receives $482
Walid receives $723
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to build a system of equations to solve this question.
We have that:
x is the amount that Faysal received.
y is the amount that Ahmed received.
z is the amount that Walid received.
Ahmed, Walid and Faisal made $1446 profit from selling used books.
This means that
[tex]x + y + z = 1446[/tex]
Ahmed to receive double amount of Faisal
This means that [tex]y = 2x[/tex]
Walid to receive triple amount of Faisal.
This means that [tex]z = 3x[/tex]
So
[tex]x + 2x + 3x = 1446[/tex]
[tex]6x = 1446[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{1446}{6}[/tex]
[tex]x = 241[/tex]
[tex]y = 2x = 2*241 = 482[/tex]
[tex]z = 3x = 3*241 = 723[/tex]
Faisal receives $241
Ahmed receives $482
Walid receives $723
