Question

A certain amount of money is shared between Ren and Roy in the ratio 7 : 4 . If Ren gets $87 more than Roy, find the total amount of money that is shared between the two boys.

Answer 1

Answer:

$319

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ren shared 7x money and Roy shared 4x money

A/Q

7x = 4x+87

7x-4x = 87

3x=87

x = 29

So, Ren shared = 7x= 7×29 = $203

Roy shared =4x = 4×29 = $116

Total money shared = 203+116 = $319.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let rens share = 7x

roys share = 4x

difference = 7x-4x=3x=87

x=87/3=29

ren=7x=7*29=203$

roy = 4x=4*29=116$

total amount = 203+116=319$
