Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Thirty dollars is to be divided among three girls and two boys so that each of the girls receives twice as much as each of the boys.

To Find:  How much does each receive?

Solution :

Let each boy gets $x

Since we are given that each of the girls receives twice as much as each of the boys

So, each girl receive amount = 2x

Since there are 3 girls .

So, 3 girls received the amount = 3*(2x)=6x

Now each boy gets x amount

So, 2 boys get amount = 2*x =2x

Since thirty dollars are divided among them .

So,

Thus each boy gets $3.75

Each girl receive amount = 2x = 2*3.75= $7.5

Hence Each boy receive $3.75 and Each girl receive  $7.5
