Answer:

$460

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of melons be x

4x + 3x + 3x = 200 melons

10x = 200 so, x will be 20

4x = 80 melons

3x = 60

3x = 60

amount made by 1st child = 80 × $2 = 160$

the remaining melons are 60 + 60 = 120

amount collected: they sold them in groups of 2 and each group was $5. so,

120÷2 × $5 = $300

total amount = 300 + 160 = $460.
