Faisal will receive $ 241 Ahmed will receive $ 482 Walid will receive $ 723.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Profit Ahmed, Walid and Faisal made from selling used books = $ 1,446

Ahmed to receive double amount of Faisal

Walid to receive triple amount of Faisal

2. How much does each one receive?

Let x to represent the amount Faisal to receive Let 2x to represent the amount Ahmed to receive (double amount of Faisal) Let 3x to represent the amount Walid to receive (triple amount of Faisal)

Therefore, we have:

x + 2x + 3x = 1,446

6x = 1,446

x = 1,446/6

x = 241 ⇒ 2x = 482 ⇒ 3x = 723

Faisal will receive $ 241, Ahmed will receive $ 482, and Walid will receive $ 723.
