The amount of money Elena has to give Priya so she has 3 times Elena's balance is $12

Given the Parameters :

  • Amount Elena has = $84
  • Amount Priya has = $12
  • Let the amount Elena gives out to Priya = p

We can set up an expression thus :

84 - p = 3(p + 12)

84 - p = 3p + 36

Collect like terms :

-p - 3p = 36 - 84

-4p = - 48

p = 48 / 4

p = 12

Therefore, Elena has to give $12 to Priya, so that Priya has 3 times the amount owned by Elena.
