Step-by-step explanation:

let the amount donated by John = x

the amount donated by Ismail = 2×x+85

2x+85

John amount +lsmail amount =4000

x+2x+85=4000

3x+85=4000

3x=4000-85

3x=3915

x=3915/3

x=1305

money denoted by John=1305

by lsmail =2x+85

2(1305)+85

2610+85=2685

Answer 2

Given: John and Ismail donated some money to the relief fund.

           Total amount paid = ₹ 4000

           Amount paid by Ismail = ₹ 85 + (2 × Amount paid by John)

To Find: Amount of money donated by John.

Solution:

Let the amount of money donated by John be ₹ $x$.

∵ Total amount paid = Amount paid by Ismail + Amount paid by John

∴ 4000 = 85 + 2$x$ +$x$

⇒ 3$x$ = 4000-85

⇒ 3$x$ = 3915

⇒ $x$ = 1305

∴ Amount paid by John = ₹ 1305

Answer: John donated an amount of ₹ 1305.
