Difference in doughnuts = 50 - 40 = 10
Difference in money = 15 + 5 = 20
20 ÷ 10 = $2
Each doughnut costs $2
<em>Check:</em>
40 x 2 + 5 = $85
50 x 2 -15 = $85
Ravi has $85 at first.

You’d set up a proportion. I did 25/15=7x-40/18.
Then you would cross multiply to get 15(7x-40)=450
Distribute the 15.
105x-600=450
Add 600 to both sides, so the -600 cancels out.
Then you’re left with 105x=1050
Divide both sides by 105 and you get x=10
