Answer 2

Answer:

• £1296

Step-by-step explanation:

s= smallest share, l= largest share

$\frac{s}{2}$=$\frac{s+540}{7}$

multiply by LCM 14 (by both sides of the equation)

so now the equation is

7s = 2(s+540)

7s = 2s + 1080

subtract 2s from both sides of the equation

so now we have:

5s = 1080

now we can divide the 5 from both sides

s = 216, which is the smallest share!

largest share ca be calculated by adding 540 to the smallest share

216+540 = 756

and from here, N equals £1296!
