Answers
Given :-
The sum of money shared among Jane , Tom
and Mary are in the ratio of 2 : 4 : 9
The difference between Jane and Marry share = $420
Solution :-
Let the ratios be 2x , 4x and 9x
According to the question :-
The difference between Jane and Marry shares
= 9x - 2x = $420
= 7x = $420
x = $420/7
x = $60
Therefore ,
A sum of money divide among Jane , Tom and marry are
Jane = 2x = 2 * $60= $120
Tom = 4x = 4 * $60 = $240
Marry = 9x = 9 * $60 = $540
Hence ,
The total sum of money
= $120 + $240 + $540 = $900 .
