Answer:

Jenny=$16

Austin=$32

Chang=$16

Step-by-step explanation:

-let the amount Chang has be x.

-Therefore, each individuals amount is expressed as:

[tex]Chang=x\\\\Austine =2x\\\\Jenny=x+9[/tex]

We equate the sum of their amounts to $73 to solve for x;

[tex]x+2x+(x+9)=73\\\\4x=73-9\\\\4x=64\\\\x=16[/tex]

#Austin's amount is therefore:

[tex]Austin=2x\\\\=2\times 16\\\\=\$32[/tex]

Chang's amount is $16

Jenny's amount=x+9=16+9=$25
