Question

Kennedy had $85 and Caitlyn had $60. After they donated an equal sum of money to charity, the ratio of Kennedy's money to Caitlyn money was 12:7. How much money did they have left?

Answer 1

Kennedy=$60 and Caitly=$35

Explanation:

Form expressiona

K=12/19x

K donated 85- 12/19x

C=7/19 X

C donated 60-7/19x

but we are told 85- 12/19x=60-7/19x thus x=85-60=$25

After donation they remained with K=85-25=$60 and C=60-25=$35
