• let x be the age of first person,
  age of second person be x+5,third person x+10,fourth person x+15,fifth person x+20.
  it is given that,
  50(x + x+5 + x+10 + x+15 + x+20) = 8750
  x = 25,
  ages are 25,30,35,40,45..

• 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
  50(50+5x)=8750
  x=25
  so ages of 5 persons are 25 30 35 40 45 respectively

• let x be the age of first person,
  age of second person be x+5,third person x+10,fourth person x+15,fifth person x+20.
  it is given that,
  50(x + x+5 + x+10 + x+15 + x+20) = 8750
  x = 25,
  thus ages are 25,35,45,55,65.
