A group of 105 boy and 60 girls donated a certain amount to a charity. The amount donated by each boy and each girl was in the ratio of 5 : 3. If the total amount donated was 35,250. What is the amount donated by each boy? Correct Answer 250

Given:

Total amount donated = 35,250

Calculation:

Let the amount donated by each of the boys and each of the girls be 5x and 3x respectively

The total amount donated by all the students of the class

⇒ (105 × 5x) + (60 × 3x) = 35,250

⇒ 705x = 35,250, x = 50

⇒ Amount donated by each boy = 5 × 50 = 250

∴ The required result will be 250.
