Question

An amount of money was shared between David and Nicole in the ratio 3:5.If Nicole received $4,650,what is David's share?

Answer 1

Given:

Amount of money got by David and Nicole is in the ratio 3:5.

Amount received by Nicole = $4,650

To find:

David's share

Solution:

Let the amount received by Nicole be 5x.

We know that Nicole received $4,650. So, we can write this amount in the form of an equation:

5x = 4650

$x = \frac{4650}{5}$

x = $930

Now we have the value of x.

Let the amount received by David be 3x. So,

3×930

= $2,790

Final answer:

Amount received by David is $2,790.
