Question

Alex & Gavyn share a lottery win of £5400 in the ratio 3 : 2. Alex then shares his part between himself, his wife & their son in the ratio 5 : 4 : 1. How much more does his wife get over their son?

Answer 1

Answer:

£324

Step-by-step explanation:

£5400/(3+2)

=£1080

£1080/(5+4+1)

=£108

£108*4

=£432

£432-£108

=£324

Answer 2

Answer:

Amount of money shared between Alex and Gavyn: 3:2

Sum of ratios = 3+2 = 5

Alex gets :

3/5 × 5400 = 3240

Money shared in ratio = 5 : 4 : 1

Sum of ratios = 10

Wife gets :

4/10 × 3240 = 1296

Son gets:

1/10 × 3240 = 324

Amount of money wife gets over son = 1296-324 = 972
