Question

b)
Last year it cost $2256 to run the car.
Abdullah, Jasmine and their son Henri share this cost in the ratio 8 : 3 : 1. Calculate the amount each paid to run the car.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount payed to Abdullah, Jasmine, Henri be 8x , 3x, x.

A/q ,

Total cost = 2256

=> 8x + 3x + x = 2256

=> 12x = 2256

=> x = 2256/12

=> x = 188.

Amount payed to Abdullah = 8x

=188 * 8

= 1504

Amount payed to Jasmine = 3x = 188 * 3 = 564

Amount payed to Henri = x = 188
