    Answer: $72

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the money gotten by June be 5y

    Let the money gotten by Sushil be y

    The money gotten by June is $48 more than Sushil's money. This will give:

    5y = y + 48

    Collect like terms

    5y - y = 48

    4y = 48

    Divide both side by 4

    4y/4 = 48/4

    y = 12

    This means the money gotten by Sushil is $12.

    June's money will be 5y which is 5*12 = $60

    Total amount gotten together will be: $12 + $60 = $72
