Question

You collect a total of $80 in donations from three people. The three donations are in the ratio 3 : 3 : 10. How much do the two people donate that donate the same amount? $ each How much greater is the largest donation than the smaller donations? $

Answer 1

Answer:

$15 each the smaller donations and $50 the greatest donation.

Explanation:

For every $16 of donations, person 1 and two donate $3 each, and person 3 donates $10. In $80, there are 5 times of $16 donations, so person 1 and two donate a total of 5*$3 = $15, and person 3 donates 5*$10 = $50.

• The two people that donate the same amount, donate $15 each ($30 total)
• The largest donation is $35 greater than the smaller donations ($50)
• Total = $30+$50 = $80.
