    First define your variables in terms of one variable.

    J = amount of candy for Jeff = 3/4G

    G = amount of candy for Gabe

    S = amount of candy for Sadie = 3J = 3 (3/4G) = 9/4G

    Create an equation. J + G + S = 192

    Substitute. 3/4G + G + 9/4G = 192

    Clean up. 12/4G+G=192

    3G+G=192

    4G = 192

    G=48

    Find the other values.

    G = 48

    S = 9/4G = 9/4 (48) = 108

    J = 3/4G = 3/4 (48) = 36
