Answer
7,500 / 22,500 dollars
Work Step by Step
We are told that a 30,000 dollar scholarship is divided between two students and one receives three times as much as the other. Therefore, we can set this up as an equation.
$x+3x=4x=30000$
Divide both sides by 4.
$x=7500$
Therefore, the student who receives the smaller part of the scholarship receives 7500 dollars. We can multiply this by 3 to determine the size of the bigger part.
$7500\times3=22500$ dollars
