Half the money was given to Paul, one third to Jade and the remaining to Martha and Bella equally. If Martha received €750, what was the total?

9,000 euros.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total is x euros the amount that Bella and Martha got  is

x - 1/2 x - 1/3 x and this = 2*750 = 1500 euros.

x - 3/ 6 x - 2/6 x = 1500

x - 5/6 x = 1500

1.6 x = 1500

x = 1500 * 6 = 9,000 euros.

€9000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the total is x

1/2 of x was given to Paul

1/3 of x was given to Jade

While Martha and Bella took the rest equally.

Paul and Jade took

1/2(x)+1/3(x)

x/2+x/3

(3x+2x)/6

5x/6

The remaining to be shared by Martha and Bella

x-5x/6

(6x-5x)/6

x/6

x/6 was shared equally by Martha and Bella.

x/6 ÷ 2

Concert the division sign to multiplication

x/6 times 1/2

x/12

Martha got €750

x/12=750

x=750X12

x=9000

The total money is €9000

Paul took 1/2 = €4,500

Jade took 1/3 = €3000

Martha and Bella shared €1500 equally, each taking €750
