1.       Let Travis = T
Jessica = j
And Robin = T

=> T = 20% more than J
=> J = 20% less than T
=> R = 35 % More than T
Travis collected 43$, find how much money did they collected
=> T = 43 dollars

=> J = 43 dollar x .20 =8.6
=> J = 43 – 8.6 = 34.4
=> J = 34.4

=>R = 43 x .35 = 15.05
=> R = 43 + 15.05
=> R = 58.05

43 + 34.4 + 58.05 = 135.45= total money they collected. 
The answer must be 135.45
