Question

Dasher spent half as much as prancer did on holiday presents this year and cupid spent 3 times more than dasher. If the total spent between the three of them was $720, how much did they each spend on gifts?

Answer 1

Answer:

Dasher spent $120, Prancer spent $240, and Cupid spent $360

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 720 by 2 and you get 360, which was cupids total. There is 360 left. Subtract 360 by 240 because Dasher spent half as much as prancer did. You get 120, which is Dasher's total. The 240 you subtracted is Prancer's total.

Answer 2

Dasher spent is $120, Prancer spent is $240 and Cupid spent is $360.

Given that,

• Dasher spent half of Prancer amount.
• Cupid spent 3 times more than Dasher.
• Total amount spent is $720.

According to the situation, calculation of the given data are as follows,

Let Dasher spent amount be x.

So, Prancer amount is 2x and Cupid amount is 3x.

Now, x + 2x + 3x = $720

6x = $720

x = $120

So, Dasher amount (x) = $120

Prancer amount (2x) = $240

Cupid amount (3x) = $360
