I have 200 dollars to split between 3 teams.  Second place gets twice as much as third place and first gets 15 dollars more than second place.  Can someone please help me with the formula?

anonymous · Answer

let x be the amount that the third place got.
then 2nd place get 2x and 1st place get 2x+15.

sums all of them equal to 200

anonymous · Answer

wouldn't take 200 /3+66.66 the at 15 to the first team would have 81.66

anonymous · Answer

200/3=66.66

anonymous · Answer

thrid would have 66.66 and two ther teams would have 15 add two this 66.66

anonymous · Answer

hopefuly maybe help you out

anonymous · Answer

the formula:
x+2x+(2x+15)=200 [where x is the amount 3rd place get]
5x+15=200
x=37

therefore, 2nd place wil get, 2x=2*37=74
and 1st place gets 2x+15=74+15=89
