Question:

Two brothers gathered their money to buy a gift for their dad. Between them they gathered 864, which amount each contributed if Paco gave 5 pesos for every 7 that Juan gave.

Explanation:

Let the common factor between each brother = p

Paco gave = 5×common factor = 5p

Juan gave = 7×common factor = 7p

Total money contributed by both brothers = 864

Total money contributed by both brothers = 5p + 7p

5p + 7p = 864

12p = 864

p = 864/12

p = 72

Paco contributed = 5p = 5×72 = 360pesos

Juan contributed = 7p = 7×72 = 504pesos
