Answer:
Jacob: $80
Hilary: $120
Brian: $40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount Brian gets be $x.
Amount Jacob gets= $(2x)
Amount Hilary gets= $(3x)
Total amount of money= $x +$(2x) +$(3x)= $(6x)
$240= $(6x)
6x= 240
x= 240÷6
x= 40
Now substitute the value of x to find out the amount of money each one gets.
Brian gets $40.
Amount Jacob gets= 2(40)= $80
Amount Hilary gets= 3(40)= $120
