Jaquie and Jordan are competing in a fundraiser for a local music program. If Jaquie earns $3 to Jordan’s $1 raised, how much would Jaquie raise if their total was $48? (1 point) Responses $12 $12 $36 $36 $48 $48 $144
If Jaquie earns $3 to Jordan's $1 raised, then Jaquie raised 3 times as much as Jordan.
Let x be the amount Jordan raised.
So, Jaquie raised 3x.
Since the total amount they raised is $48, we can write the equation x + 3x = $48.
Combining like terms gives us 4x = $48.
Dividing both sides by 4 gives us x = 12.
Therefore, Jaquie raised 3 * 12 = $<<3*12=36>>36. Answer: \boxed{36}.
