Leonard and Marcus have saved up a total of $47.00 Leonard has saved 3 dollars less than 3/5 as much as Marcus how much has Marcus saved
Let x be the amount Marcus has saved.
Then, Leonard has saved 3/5x - 3 dollars.
Given that Leonard and Marcus have saved a total of $47, we can write the equation:
x + (3/5)x - 3 = 47
Combining like terms, we get:
(8/5)x - 3 = 47
Add 3 to both sides:
(8/5)x = 50
Multiply both sides by 5/8:
x = 50 * 5/8
x = 31.25
Therefore, Marcus has saved $31.25.
