A certain sum of money is divided among A, B and C such that A gets one-third of what B and C together get and B gets two-seventh of what A and C together get. If the amount received by A is $30 more than that received by B, find the total amount shared by A, B and C.	Answers:
A) $ 1080	B) $ 1180	C) $ 1280	D) $ 1380	E) $ 1480

Rationale: a = 1 / 3 ( b + c ) = > c = 3 a - b - - - ( 1 ) b = 2 / 7 ( a + c ) = > c = 3.5 b - a - - ( b ) a - b = $ 30 a = 30 + b ( 1 ) = = = > c = 90 + 3 b - b = 2 b + 90 = = > 2 b - c = - 90 - - - ( 3 ) ( 2 ) = = = > c = 3.5 b - b - 30 = 2.5 b - 30 = = > 2.5 b - c = 30 - - - ( 4 ) from ( 4 ) and ( 3 ) 0.5 b = 120 b = $ 240 a = $ 270 c = 810 - 240 = $ 570 total amount = 270 + 240 + 570 = $ 1080 answer : a
