Question

andy, brian and charlie share 72 dollars in the ratio 2 : 3: 4.
Workout how much brian receives

Answer 1

Answer:

24 dollar

Step-by-step explanation:

As the ratio is 2 : 3 : 4, let

Share of Andy is 2a

Share of Brian is 3a

Share of Charlie is 4a

Total share = 72 dollar

= > Share of Andy + share of Brian + share of Charlie = 72

= > 2a + 3a + 4a = 72

= > 9a = 72

= > a = 72/9

= > a = 8

Hence,

Share of Brian = 3a = 3(8) = 24 dollar

Answer 2

Answer:

brian = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

total people = 3

sum of ratios = 2+3+4 = 9

andy = 9×2 = 18

brian = 9×3= 27

charlie = 9×4 = 36
