Question

Mr. Smith donated $378 to 2 charities. Charity A received 5 times as much as Charity B. How much did Charity B received from Mr Smith?​

Answer 1

$63

Explanation:

let x represent Charity B then Charity A = 5x

Sum the two and equate to 378, that is

x + 5x = 378

6x = 378 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 63

Thus Charity B received $63
