Answer:

135.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Get the 80% of $43 that will give you $34.4 -> Sheryl's.

(100-20=80) The problem indicates that Jay's money is 20% higher than Sheryl's.

Get the 35% of $43 that will give you $15.05 -> Ethan's. Then Add 15.05 and 43 = 58.05.

($43+35% of 43= 58.05) Ethan should be 35% higher than Jay's.

Then just add it all.
