Greg has $11
Jan has $10
William has $5
Jan has $10
William has $5
g = 11
j = 2w
w+j+g = 26
so
w+j+11 = 26
w+j = 15
hmmm. 5+10 = 15
Step 1: Let's say William has x dollars.
Step 2: Since Jan has twice as much money as William, Jan has 2x dollars.
Step 3: We know that Greg has $11, so we subtract that amount from the total of $26: 26 - 11 = $15.
Step 4: Now, we can set up an equation using the information we have. The total amount of money is the sum of the money each person has: x + 2x + 11 = 15.
Step 5: Simplify the equation: 3x + 11 = 15.
Step 6: Subtract 11 from both sides of the equation: 3x = 4.
Step 7: Divide both sides of the equation by 3: x = 4/3.
Step 8: Since we can't have a fraction of a dollar, we need to round x to the nearest whole number. In this case, x = 1.
Therefore, William has $1, Jan has 2x = 2 * 1 = $2, and Greg has $11.
