Given :

Xanthe and Sarah together raised $302 .

If Xanthe raised $102 more than Sarah .

To Find :

The amount raised by Sarah .

Solution :

Let , amount raise by Sarah is x .

So , by the relation given , price raised by Xanthe is 102 + x .

Now , sum of their amount raised is :


x+(x+102)=302\\\\2x=302-102\\\\x=\$100

Therefore , the amount raised by Sarah is $100 .

Hence , this is the required solution .
