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 3 times as many $ 1250 scholarships as $ 2500 scholarships . if the total of $ 75000 was awarded in $ 1250 scholarships , how many $ 4000 scholarships were awarded ? Choose the most appropriate option: A) 5 B) 6 C) 9 D) 10 E) 15

Rationale: since the starting point is given as the $ 4000 scholarship , assume $ 4000 scholarships to be x by the given information , $ 2500 scholarships = 2 x and $ 1250 scholarships = 6 x gievn : total $ 1250 scholarships = $ 75000 6 x * 1250 = 75000 solve for x = 10 option d
