"The students in P1 raised the same amount of money as the students in P4."

P1 → $3268 P4 (fraction) → 1/10

1/10 money → $3268 10/10 money → $3268 x 10 = $32680

P3 + P6 → 1 - 1/10 - 1/10 - 1/4 - 1/5 = 20/20 - 2/20 - 2/20 - 5/20 - 4/20 = 7/20

P3 + P6 → 7/20 x 32680 = $11438

The students in P3 raised three times as much as the students in P6.

P3 → 3u P6 → 1u P3 + P6 → 3u + 1u = 4u

4u → $11438 1u → $11438 ÷ 4 = $2859.50
