The equation will be (2w ,+ 3) + (w + 2) + (3w + 4) = 600
The ratio in lowest term will be 2:1:3
When they donate $50, the ratio will be 1:4.
a. The equation based on the information will be:
(2w + 3) + (w + 2) + (3w + 4) = 600
6w + 9 = 600
6w = 600 - 9
6w = 591
Divide
w = 591/6
w = 98.5
b. Therefore, (2w + 3) = 2×98.5 + 3 = 200
(w + 2) = 98.5 + 2 = 100.5
(3w + 4) = 3(98.5) + 4 = 299.5
The ratio in lowest term will be 2:1:3.
c. When they donate $50, the ratio will be:
= (50 × 3)/600
= 150/600
= 1:4
