Answer:
Each boy receive $3.75 and Each girl receive $7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Thirty dollars is to be divided among three girls and two boys so that each of the girls receives twice as much as each of the boys.
To Find: How much does each receive?
Solution :
Let each boy gets $x
Since we are given that each of the girls receives twice as much as each of the boys
So, each girl receive amount = 2x
Since there are 3 girls .
So, 3 girls received the amount = 3*(2x)=6x
Now each boy gets x amount
So, 2 boys get amount = 2*x =2x
Since thirty dollars are divided among them .
So, [tex]6x+2x=30[/tex]
[tex]8x=30[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{30}{8}[/tex]
[tex]x=3.75[/tex]
Thus each boy gets $3.75
Each girl receive amount = 2x = 2*3.75= $7.5
Hence Each boy receive $3.75 and Each girl receive $7.5
