Question

two winners are to share a prize of $750. If one winner receives twice as much as the other, how much will they each receive?​

Answer 1

Answer: $250 and $500

Step-by-step explanation: x+2x=750

3x=750 x=250 one winner receives $250 the other winner $500

Answer 2

Answer: winner 1 : 500

Winner 2 : 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider both winners share as 'x' and winner 1 will get the prize share twice than winner 2's share

2x+x = 750 ---------- eq. 1

3x= 750

x=750/3

x = 250

Put the value of 'x' in eq.1

2(250)+(250) =750

500+250=750
