Part A:

Set Money He Gives To Charity As X, Money invest As Y.

Ratio Is 3:1:11
Means 7221 Hold 3 Pieces.

3:1:11 = 7221:x:y

Total Is 15 (3+1+11)(NEEDED TO SOLVE PART B)

7221/3=2403, 1 share is 2403.

2403 * 11=26433 (As He put 11/15 investing) ( That Much He invests)(15 In total)

PART B:

2403*15 = 36045

That's How Much He Won.
