Question

NEED HELP! How do i even start doing this problem? I did a chart of who loses then who doubles but I cant seem to solve it.

In the card game “Match,” the loser has to double the money of the other players. Juan, Jamal and Joey are playing. First Juan loses and doubles the money of Jamal and Joey. Joey loses the next hand and doubles the money of Jamal and Juan. Jamal loses the next hand and doubles the money of Juan and Joey. At this point they quit and each has $10. How much did each start with and how much did each win or lose relative to the money they started with?

Answer 1

Each started with $2.50
Each each won 3 times $2.50 or $7.50 each.
