Question

£85.75 is being shared between Zayn and Edith in the ratio 3:4. How much money would each of them get? (3 marks)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Z=Zayns share

E=Edith's share

Z:E=3:4

Z=3/7*85.75=36.75

E=4/7*85.75=49

Answer 2

Ratio

The ratio of division of money between Zayn and Edith is $3:4$.

Total amount of money = £85.75

Let the money Zayn got be 3x.

Let the money Edith got is 4x.

So,

$3x+4x=85.75\\\\\implies 7x=85.75\\\\\implies x=12.25$

So the amount with Zayn $=3x= 12.25\times 3=36.75$

The amount of money Edith have $=4x = 4\times12.25=49$

Hence Zayn and Edith will have £36.75 and £49 respectively.
