Alexis and her little sister Emma went to Gold Trust National Bank. When they got there, Alexis had three times as much money in her account as Emma. After Alexis withdrew $100 to buy some new clothes and Emma deposited $25 that she got for her birthday, they had the same amount in their accounts.
How much money did Emma have in her account when she and Alexis got to the bank?

Let Emma's initial amount be E. Then Alexis had 3E. After the transactions:
3E − 100 = E + 25
2E = 125
E = 62.50

Emma had $62.50 in her account when they got to the bank.
