The ages of five persons are 25.30.35.40.45
let the age of youngest person be "X".Then the age of remaining 4 persons will be X+5,X+10,X+15 and X+20.As each person donated 50 times their age and total donation was 8750,the required equation will be

50X+50(X+5)+50(X+10)+50(X+15)+50(X+20)=8750
50(5X+50)=8750
5X+50=175
5X=125
X=25

let x be the age of 1st person then
