    2x + 115,000 = 505280

    2x = 390,780

    x = 195,390

    America = x + 115,000 = 310,390

    China = x = 195,390

    Just to check, 310,390 + 195,390 = 505,780.

    Let the number in China be x.

    USA has 115 000 more than China = x + 115000

    Total = 505 780

    x + (x + 115000) = 505780

    x + x + 115000 = 505780

    2x + 115000 = 505780

    2x = 505780 - 115000

    2x = 390780

    x = 390780/2

    x = 195 390

    So China is x, 195 390, USA = x + 115000 = 195390 + 115000 = 310390

    China = 195 390

    USA = 310 390

    Hope this clarifies it.
