GIVEN THAT,

SUM OF MONEY IS SHARED IN THE RATIO= 3:7

LARGER SHARE = $1050.

LET US TAKE RATIO 3:7 AS

'3x' and '7x'.

AS IT IS GIVEN THAT LARGER SHARE = $1050

7x= $1050------------------( 1 )

$x = \frac{1050}{7} \\ = 150$

THEREFORE X= $150

3x= 3×150

=$ 450---------------( 2 )

( ADDING (1) AND (2))

THEREFORE TOTAL AMOUNT

= 7X+3X

= $1050+$450

= $1500

THEREFORE TOTAL AMOUNT = $1500.
