Answer:

$360.50 is the total amount of money they collected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio 3.5 : 6.8

Aiden total collection = 3.5x

Jacob total collection = 6.8x

Jacob collection was $115.50 more than Aiden.

Therefore,  6.8x = 3.5x + 115.50

Now we solve for x

6.8x - 3.5x = 115.50

3.3x = 115.50

x=35

Jacob collection = 6.8(35) = $238.00

Aiden Correction = 3.5(35) = $122.50

Total collection by both = 122.50 + 238.00 = $360.50

Thus, $360.50 is the total amount of money they collected.
