Question

A sum of money is divided between Ken and Rose in the ration 2:3. If Rose receives $90.00, find the sum of money shared

Answer 1

Answer:

$150

Step-by-step explanation:

If the money is divided in a ratio 2:3 there will be 5 parts being shared at a time. If Rose has 3 parts, we find that she has 3/5 of the money. If we divide 90 by 3 we get 1/5 of the total amount.

90/3=30

So 30 multiplied by 2 will give you 2/5 = 60 which is Ken's money. We add these two values to $150 which is the total amount.
