In a right angle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side.
Here, the longest side is 25, the shorter sides are x and x+5.

x^2+(x+5)^2=25^2 \\
x^2+x^2+10x+25=625 \\
2x^2+10x+25=625 \ \ \ |-625 \\
2x^2+10x-600=0 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
x^2+5x-300=0 \\
x^2+20x-15x-300=0 \\
x(x+20)-15(x+20)=0 \\
(x-15)(x+20)=0 \\
x-15=0 \ \lor \ x+20=0 \\
x=15 \ \lor \ x=-20


The length of a side must be a positive number, so x=15.
The answer is C.

The second answer.
You have the first prize, x.
Then you have the second prize, which is x - 50.
Then you have the third prize, which is x - 50 -50, or x - 100.
So the total money is:
x + (x-50) + (x-100).
