Mario and Sebastián share 120 pesos. If Mario receives triple what Sebastián receives, how much does each one get?

Mario has 90 pesos, while Sebastian only 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Sebastian's pesos are hidden in a box called X. And we know that Sebastian has three X boxes. If we think of it as a mathematical equation it would come out as:

Now, how do we know the total quantity of Sebastian's pesos?

We first gotta sum up all of the X boxes in the equation and it would come out as:

And if we divide 120 by the quantity of the total X boxes, we would get the next mathematical equation:

One X box would have a total of 30 pesos. Sebastian's pesos. And we know that Mario has three times the amount of Sebastian's pesos, right?

So... Mario would have three X boxes. 3 times 30.

A way to confirm this is by replacing 30 all the exes in the original equation and get 120 as a result.
