When Anne Betty and Cynthia compared the amount of money each had, they discovered that Anne and Betty together had $12 Betty and Cynthia together had $18 and Anne and Cynthia together had $10. Who had the least amount of money? and how much was it? a +b = 12 b + c = 18 a + c = 10 So what I did is simple XD A logical guess and check. I started with a = 1, but that was to little. And also didn't match up. So I kept going up and got a = 2, b = 10, and c = 8

Anne has the least amount of money, with $2. Betty has $10 and Cynthia has $8. Therefore, Anne is the one with the least funds among them.
