you have $975240 to be divided among 5 friends , 4 charities and 1 university. The 5 friends each receive 3 times as much as all the charities combined and that each charity recives twice as much as the university. How much did they each receive?
let university get x
each charity gets 2x
4 charities so total = 8x
each friend receives 3*8x=24x
5 friends = 5*24x=120x
8x+120x+x=975240
129x=975240
x= 7560
University = 7560
charity 2*7520
each friend = 24*7520
