Answer:
Paco contributed = 360pesos
Juan contributed = 504pesos
Question:
Two brothers gathered their money to buy a gift for their dad. Between them they gathered 864, which amount each contributed if Paco gave 5 pesos for every 7 that Juan gave.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the common factor between each brother = p
Paco gave = 5×common factor = 5p
Juan gave = 7×common factor = 7p
Total money contributed by both brothers = 864
Total money contributed by both brothers = 5p + 7p
5p + 7p = 864
12p = 864
p = 864/12
p = 72
Paco contributed = 5p = 5×72 = 360pesos
Juan contributed = 7p = 7×72 = 504pesos
