The junior high band sold candy for a fundraiser the profit from the candy sale was 180.00 the girls sold 3 times as much as the boys how much of the total profit did the girls provide

Let the amount that the boys sold be x, the amount that girls sold will be 3x. The total will be given by:

x+3x=180

4x=180

solving for x we get:

x=180/4

x=45

Thus, boys sold $45, the girls provided 45*3=$135
