Question

£360 is shared between Abby Ben Chloe Indonesia the ratio of the male Abby gets To the amount Ben gets is 2 to 7 Chloe and Dennis each get 1.5 times the amount Abby gets what is the amount of money that

Answer 1

Answer:

Abby = 2/9 × 216 = 48

Ben = 7/9 × 216 = 168

Chloe = 1.5 × 48 = 72

Dennis = 1.5 × 48 = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of what Abby gets to Ben is = 2 : 7

Let x be the total amount Abby and Ben gets.

Abby gets = 2/9x

Ben gets = 7/9x

The amount Chloe and Dennis gets = 2(1.5 × 2/9x) = 2/3x

The total amount they all get is:

= 2/3x + 2/9x + 7/9x = 15/9x

We equate this to 360

15/9x = 360

x = 360 × 9/15

x = 216

Abby = 2/9 × 216 = 48

Ben = 7/9 × 216 = 168

Chloe = 1.5 × 48 = 72

Dennis = 1.5 × 48 = 72
