Crew receives a check for $5100. The journeyman makes 300% of what the apprentice makes and the master makes 150% of what the journeyman makes. How much do they each make?

Question

Thanks!

Answer 1

If x = apprentice $, then journeyman = 3x and master = 3x * 1.5

x + 3x + 4.5x = 5100

Solve for x, then the others.
