A certain scholarship committee awarded scholarships in the amounts of $1250, $2500 and $4000. The Committee awarded twice as many $2500 scholarships as $4000 and it awarded three times as many $1250 scholarships as $2500 scholarships. If the total of $45000 was awarded in $1250 scholarships, how many $4000 scholarships were awarded?  Pick one:
A) 5 B) 6 C) 9 D) 10 E) 15
Since the starting point is given as the $4000 scholarship,   Assume $4000 scholarships to be x   6y the given information, $2500 scholarships = 2x   and $1250 scholarships = 6x   Gievn: Total $1250 scholarships = $45000   6x*1250 = 45000   Solve for x = 6   Option 6
<result>B</result>
