Lia phil and cam collect $200.30 for a fundraiser phil collects $12.80 more than lia. cam collects 3 times as much as lia. how much does each person collect?

This is an easy question on application of algebra.

First, you should write down all the facts you know.

   (P for Phil, L for Lia and C for Cam.)

   P + L + C = 200.30

   P = L + 12.80

   C = 3L

Second, you should find common letter in those equations.

   In this case, it's L.

   So, you should subtitute P = L + 12.80 and C = 3L to P + L + C= 200.30.

   Then you will get (L + 12.80) + L + 3L = 200.30

Third, then you can solve it using basic algebra.

   (L + 12.80) + L + 3L = 200.30

=  5L + 12.80 = 200.30

=  5L = 187.50

=  L = 37.5

Lia collected 37.5.

Fourth, You just subtitute L to other equations.

Then you will get C and P as well.

Hope it helped!

where is the figure

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
