Step 1
1 of 2

Let xx be the amount of money for business scholarship. According to this, the amount for liberal arts will be 3×x=3x3\times x=3x. The sum of these 2 scholarships total up to 1000, therefore, form an equation on for the given condition:

x+3x=1000\begin{equation*} x+3x=1000 \end{equation*}

4x=1000\begin{equation*} 4x=1000 \end{equation*}

x=10004\begin{equation*} x=\dfrac{1000}{4} \end{equation*}

x=250\begin{equation*} x=250 \end{equation*}

She will donate $250\$250 for business scholarship and $750\$750 for liberal arts.
