William, Jan, and Greg have a total of $26. Greg has the most money. Jan has twice as much money as William. Greg has $11. How much money does Jan have?

Question

BOBEYJONES · Accepted Answer

The answer to Jan is 10$. Because Greg has 11$ so you need to make 26$ from 11$ So what I did is 11+10+5=26 Because Jan has twice as William so Jan has 10$ half of 10$ is 5$ So that means William has 5$ Answer: 10$
