Answer:
The answer is "[tex]\$75,000[/tex]"
Explanation:
Convert the ratio to several fractions first. Its first half of such a ratio is measured by multiplying two sides (Clays 5 + Maryanne's 3 pieces = 8 total parts) combined, to determine the numerator, and the very first part of the ratio is maintained as a numberer of the factions (5 parts, Clay contribution). Therefore Clay made a significant donation of [tex]\frac{ 5}{8}[/tex], which's also [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of Maryanna[tex](\frac{8}{8}-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{8})[/tex] donated.
[tex]\to \$75,000 \times \frac{3}{8}\\\\\to \$200,000[/tex]
