Answer 2

Answer:

$15.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy, pieceeee!

Let's make x, the money raised by Anthony!

We know that Luis raised 3 times what Anthony did! That is 3x!

And because of Luis raised $45.75, we can say:

3x=45.75

Then to leave x alone we divide by 3 both sides of the equation!

And we get:

$3x=45.75\\\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{45.75}{3} \\\\x=15.25$

So Anthony raised $15.25!

We verify that by multiplying 15.25 by 3 and we get 45.75!
