    Answer:

    Amount contributed by Oscar = $8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that:

    Amount spent on gift = $36

    Amount contributed by Moriah = $12

    Let,

    x be the amount contributed by each of them.

    Thus,

    Gift total = Contribution of all

    36 = x+x+x+12

    36 = 3x+12

    3x+12 = 36

    3x=36-12

    3x=24

    Dividing both sides by 3

    \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{24}{3}\\x=8

    Hence,

    Amount contributed by Oscar = $8
