For a school fund raising project, aiden and jacob collected money in the ratio 3.5 : 6.8. jacob collected $115.50 more than aiden. find the total amount of money they collected.

$360.50 is the total amount of money they collected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio 3.5 : 6.8

Aiden total collection = 3.5x

Jacob total collection = 6.8x

Jacob collection was $115.50 more than Aiden.

Therefore,  6.8x = 3.5x + 115.50

Now we solve for x

6.8x - 3.5x = 115.50

3.3x = 115.50

x=35

Jacob collection = 6.8(35) = $238.00

Aiden Correction = 3.5(35) = $122.50

Total collection by both = 122.50 + 238.00 = $360.50

Thus, $360.50 is the total amount of money they collected.

y=mx+b

step-by-step explanation:

m slope, b y-intercept

d is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= 8 because 3x = 3 * 8, and 3*8 = 24
