Respuesta :

Tasyha

Answer:

$2,295

Step-by-step explanation:

Meghan = x

Crystal = x + 135

[tex] \frac{8}{3} = \frac{x}{x + 135} [/tex]

[tex]8 \times (x + 135) = 3x[/tex]

[tex]8x + 1.080 = 3x[/tex]

[tex]1.080 = x[/tex]

Meghan got $1,080

[tex]1.080 + 135 = 1.215[/tex]

Crystal got $1,215

[tex]1.080 + 1.215 = 2.295[/tex]

$2,295 money was shared.
