Tom has a quarter as much money as Nataly. Nataly has three times as much money as Raquel. How much money do Tom, Raquel, and Nataly have combined if Raquel has $40? Give me reasons, before answering the question
If Nataly has 3 times as much money as Raquel, she has 3 * $40 = $120. Tom has 1 / 4 as much money as Nataly, so he has 1 / 4 * $120 = $30. Combined, the three have $30 + $120 + $40 = $190. So the final answer is 190.
