Solution

Let's denote the amount of savings Raj has as R.

According to the problem, Cheko has twice as much savings as Raj, so we can denote Cheko's savings as 2R.

Ahmad has 5123morethanRaj,sowecandenoteAhmadssavingsasR+5123 more than Raj, so we can denote Ahmad's savings as R + 5123.

The total savings of all three is $13 343. So we can write the equation:

R (Raj's savings) + 2R (Cheko's savings) + R + 5123(Ahmadssavings)=5123 (Ahmad's savings) = 13 343.

Simplifying the equation, we get 4R + 5123=5123 = 13 343.

Subtract $5123 from both sides of the equation to solve for 4R:

4R = 1334313 343 - 5123 = $8220.

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for R:

R = 8220/4=8220 / 4 = 2055.

So, Raj has $2055.

To find out how much Ahmad has, we add $5123 to Raj's savings:

Ahmad's savings = R + 5123=5123 = 2055 + 5123=5123 = 7178.

So, Ahmad has $7178.
