Hello!!!

Here's the Answer :


The ratio of money and the share of each one vary directly.


So, let x be the constant.


=> According to the Question.
=> 3 / 5 = x / (x + 20)
=> 3/ 5 = x / x + 20
=> 3 × (x + 20) = 5 × x
=> 3x + 60 = 5x
=> 60 = 5x - 3x
=> 60 = 2x
=> 60 /2 = x
=> 30 = x


Share of 1st person = x = 30
Share of 2nd person = ( x+20 )
= 30 + 20 = 50


Sum = 50 + 30

= 80


Hope It Helps!!!
