$225 was earned from the craft sales
and $40 was earned from the play.
Given, During a school carnival, students from the middle school raised money by selling crafts, food, game tickets, and school play admissions.
Of each dollar earned, $0.15 came from games. Craft sales earned 3 times as much as games. Food sales were 4 times the amount earned from the play.
Let the amount earned by play be x,
Now, Games earned = 0.15×500 = $75
Also, crafts earned 3×75 = $225
Now, as play earned x, then food earned 4x.
According to question,
x + 75 + 225 + 4x = 500
5x + 300 = 500
5x = 200
x = 40
So, the amount earned by Play be, $40
and the amount earned by Food be $160.
Hence, $225 was earned from the craft sales
and $40 was earned from the play.
