oobleck · Answer

so, put the words into math. g = 11 j = 2w w+j+g = 26 so w+j+11 = 26 w+j = 15 hmmm. 5+10 = 15

Big Boy · Answer

To do this, you first subtract Greg's $11 from the total $26, which leaves you with $15 between William and Jan. Now, we know that Jan has twice as much money as William, so we can call Jan's amount of money 2x, and Williams is x. When you combine Jan and William's money, you get $15, so we can set up the equation of x + 2x = 15, or 3x = 15. Now, simply solve, and you get x = 5. If you know that William has $5, and Jan has twice that, then obviously, Jan has $10.
