Question

A brother and a sister share an amount of GH¢600,000 between them in the ratio 1:4. The sister shares her part with her mother and her daughter in the ratio 2:1:1 respectively. How much does the daughter receive

Answer 1

Answer:

GH¢120,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let brother has 1x out of 600,0000 amount of money, then sister has 4x out of 600,000 amount of money.

x + 4x = 600,000 ⇒ brother has GH¢120,000 and sister has GH¢480,000

Let sister has 2y out of 480,000 amount of money, her mother has 1y out of 480,000 amount of money and her daughter has 1y out of 480,000 amount of money.

2y + y + y = 480,000 ⇒ sister's daughter has GH¢120,000
