A man left a legacy of $10,000 to three relatives and their wives.
Together, the wives received $3960. June received $100 more than Camille,
and Martha received $100 more than June. Jack Smith was given just as much
as his wife, Horace Saunders got half as much again as his wife, and Terry
Connors received twice as much as his wife. What was the first name of
each man's wife?
As it is evident that Camille,
June and Martha received respectively
$1220, $1320 and $1420, making the total
of $3960 left to the three wives, if
Jack Smith receives as much as his wife
Camille, $1220; Horace Saunders half as
much again as his wife June, $1980; and
Terry Connors twice as much as his wife
Martha, $2840, then we have correctly
paired the married couples and accounted
for exactly $10,000.
