Answer:
The amount the first charity got is $10.
The amount the second charity got is $20.
How much did each charity get?
The first step is to determine the amount raised by the second fifth grade class: 1.5 x $12 = $18
The total amount raised by the two classes : $18 + $12 = 30
Let x represent the amount gotten by the first charity
Amount gotten by the second charity : 2x
2x + x = $30
3x = $30
x = $30 / 3
x = $10
Amount gotten by the second charity : 2(10) = $20
