you collect a total of $75 dollars in donations from three people. The three donations are in the ratio 4:4:7. How much is each of the smaller donations?
The ratio given are: 4 + 4 + 7=15, therefore each share of the donation is proportional to:
4/15 X $75=20, and 4/15 X $75=20, and 7/15 X $75=35, so we:
$20:$20:$35 Donations in proportion to the ratios given.
