Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 43

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio = 1:3:5

let,

1=1x, 3=3x, 5=5x

add them, 1x+2x+5x

=9x

9x=77.40

X=77.40/9

X=8.6

so,

1x=1×8.6=8.6

3x=3×8.6=25.8

5x=5×8.6=43

therefore,

1=Paul=8.6

3=Colin=25.8

5=Brian=43

hence solved

Answer 2

Brian get  £34.4 over Paul

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul, Colin and Brian share the tips in the ratio 1:3:5.

Let the ratio be x

So, Paul's share = x

Colin's share = 3x

Brian's share = 5x

One night the restaurant earns tips totalling £77.40.

So, x+3x+5x=77.40

9x=77.40

$x = \frac{77.40}{9}$

x=8.6

So,Paul's share = x = 8.6

Brian's share = 5x = 5(8.6) =43

So, Difference in both share = 43-8.6 = 34.4

Hence  Brian get  £34.4 over Paul
