Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
Answer:
B,C,E are right statements
The city contributed $13,500; the county contributed $27,000; and the state contributed $54,000.
Let x be the amount the city contributes. Since the county contributes twice as much as the city, the county's amount is 2x. Since the state contributes twice as much as the county, the state's amount is 2(2x) = 4x.
They total 94,500:
x+2x+4x = 94500
7x = 94500
Divide both sides by 7:
x = 13500
2x = 27000
4x = 54000
27 is 3 as many times the number 9
