Poker Game Money Distribution Analysis

Alice, Brian, and Christine played poker with a starting ratio of their money being 7:6:5. At the end of the game, the ratio was 6:5:4 and one player had won $1200. By using ratios and fractions to represent the amounts, the solver determined that Alice had $43,200, Brian had $36,000, and Christine had $28,800 at the beginning of the game.

Winning and Losing

1. Alice, Brian, and Christine, were spending their evening playing poker
with some retired people at the Senior Center. At the beginning of the game,
the ration of how much money each person had was: 7:6:5. At the end of the
game, the ration was: 6:5:4.
One of the players had won $1200
How much money did each of the players have at the beginning of the
game?

2. I solved the problem by using ratios, and fractions. This made it easy to
compare the different amounts of money that each person had.

3.
4. My final answer is
Alice: $43,200
Brian: $36,000
Christine: $28,800

I think my answer is right because I used ratios and fractions. I


couldn’t make a mistake easily because I could easily see the difference in
each persons money from the beginning to the end
