A certain scholarship committee awarded scholarships in the amounts of $1,250, $2,500, and $4,000. The committee awarded twice as many $2,500 scholarships as $4,000 scholarships, and it awarded three times as many $1,250 scholarships as $2,500 scholarships. If a total of $37,500 was awarded in $1,250 scholarships, how many $4,000 scholarships were awarded?

(B) 6
(C) 9
(D) 10
(E) 15

ans: A

1250:2500:4000=x:y:z
twice as many $2,500 scholarships as $4,000 scholarships
=>Y=2Z
three times as many $1,250 scholarships as $2,500 scholarships= >x=3y
==>x=3y=6z
.....then you can calculate the answer...
