Answer 1

Answer:

They won £ 56

Step-by-step explanation:

We Have :-

Brian and Colin share money in ratio 1 : 3

Brian gets £ 14

To Find :-

Total Money they won

Solution :-

Let the money won by

Brian be x

Colin be 3x

x = £ 14

3x = 3 *£ 14

= £ 42

Total Money = x + 3x

= £ 14 + £ 42

= £ 56

They won £ 56

Answer 2

Answer:

${\boxed{\bold{Answer=Rs. 56}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

• Ratio of money = 1 : 3
• Brian gets = Rs.14

Let the money won by Brian be X and money won by Colin be 3x.

$\tt X = Rs.14 \\ \rightarrow\tt 3x =Rs.3 \times 14 \\ \therefore\tt 3x = Rs.42$

$\therefore\bold{\underline{So,Colin\:gets\:Rs.42}}$

$\tt Total\:money = Rs.(Brian+Colin) \\ \rightarrow\tt Total\:money = Rs.(14+42) \\ \rightarrow\tt Total\:money\:won=Rs.56$

$\therefore\bold{\underline{Total\:money\:won=Rs.56}}$
