You collect a total of $80 in donations from three people. The three donations are in the ratio 3 : 3 : 10. How much do the two people donate that donate the same amount?

Question

How much greater is the largest donation than the smaller donations? (question continued)

Answer 1

If the ratios are 3:3:10, then you will have a base total of 10+3+3 = 16

Then,

Person 1 donates 3/16 x 80 = $15

Person 2 donates 3/16 x 80 = $15

Person 3 donates 10/16 x 80 = $50
