Let's denote the amount Julie spends as ( J ) dollars.
- Micah spends 5 times as much as Julie, so Micah spends ( 5J ) dollars.
- Jeremy spends $6.72 more than Micah, so Jeremy spends ( 5J + 6.72 ) dollars.
Given that Julie spends $5.62, we can set up the equation:
[ J + 5J + (5J + 6.72) = 5.62 ]
Combine like terms:
[ 11J + 6.72 = 5.62 ]
Subtract 6.72 from both sides:
[ 11J = -1.10 ]
Divide by 11:
[ J = -0.10 ]
This result seems incorrect because Julie's spending cannot be negative. There might be an error in the given information or calculations. Please double-check the numbers provided for Julie, Micah, and Jeremy's spending amounts.
