Rupp saved twice as much money as Hasay. Murphy saved $70 more than Hasay. If the saved $1790 altogether, how much did Murphy save?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hasay saved x dollars. Rupp saved 2x dollars. Murphy saved (x+70) dollars.
Altogether (x+2x+x+70), they saved 4x+70.
4x + 70 = 1790
4x = 1720
x = 430
Murphy = (x+70) = (430+70) = $500
Do you honestly need help with this? 2/10 for getting me to bite. -2/10 if you're in HS and just trying to get free HW answers.
Easiest way, in my mind, is to make Hasay the base. we'll call her x. so Hasay is 1x.
Rupp is 2x, right? And Murph is $70 more, so x+70.
ergo, x + 2x + (x+70) = 1790, right? thus, 1790-70=1720, leaving you with 4x = 1720 and it's pretty easy to solve at this point.

In the US (common core), this is a 7th grade problem, not HS. So, op is probably a parent trying to help their 12/13 year old. Not some lazy HS kid.
Correct. Parent forgotten everything and helping my 11 year old.
Thanks.
Appreciate the quick responses. I appreciate the help as well. After looking through your responses it makes total sense. I have forgotten so much.
Thanks again.
