Question

To help raise funding for attending a science competition out of town, John and his three friends sell candies in their neighborhood. The average of each person’s sale is $200. John’s sale is 1/3 of Steve’s sale, Steve’s sale is 1/4 of Paul’s sale, and Charlie's’ sale is 2/3 of Paul’s sale. How much is each person’s sale?

Answer 1

John's sale = $X.
Steve's sale = $3X.
Paul's sale = $12X.
Charlie's sale = $8X.

x + 3x + 12x + 8x = 4*$200.
X = ?.
3X = ?.
12X = ?.
8X = ?.
