Question

Bob and Joe both donated money to the same charity. Bob gave three times as much as Joe. Between the two of them, they donated $280. How much money did Joe give?

Answer 1

$70

Explanation:

Joe's Donation = x

Bob's Donation = 3x

Total Donation = $280

Joe's Donation + Bob's Donation = Total Donation

x + 3x =$280

4x = $280

4x/4 = $280/4

x = $70
