Answer:

Smaller donations each cost $20

The bigger donation is $15 more than the smaller ones.

Explanation:

Let 4x be defined as the amount of the smaller donation, and let 7x be defined as the larger amount of the donation. We can then set up an equation:

4x+4x+7x = 75

15x = 75

x = 5

We can now plugin 5 for x to solve for the smaller donation and the larger donation:

Smaller donation = 4*5 = 20

Bigger donation = 7*5 = 35

Now, to find how much greater the bigger donation is, we just subtract 35 from 20, which is 15.

I hope this helped.

Answer:

A) Each of the smaller donations is $20.

B) The larger donation is greater than the smaller donations by $15.

Explanation:

4+4+7 is equal to 15, and divide 75 by 15 to get $5 per part. Multiply 4 by 5 to get $20 for a smaller donation, and 7 by 5 to get $35 for the larger donation. Hope this helped :)
