Answer: $72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money gotten by June be 5y

Let the money gotten by Sushil be y

The money gotten by June is $48 more than Sushil's money. This will give:

5y = y + 48

Collect like terms

5y - y = 48

4y = 48

Divide both side by 4

4y/4 = 48/4

y = 12

This means the money gotten by Sushil is $12.

June's money will be 5y which is 5×12 = $60

Total amount gotten together will be: $12 + $60 = $72
