Question 355690: Contributions accounted for two-thirds of the money was received. If $950 was received in all, how much money was contributed?

c represents money received from contributions.
t represents money received from all sources.
you know that c = (2/3)*t
you know that t = 950.
substitute 950 for t in the equation to get:
c = (2/3) * 950
solve for c to get c = 633 and (1/3)
c represents money received from contributions.
t represents money received from all sources.
