let Carly shared is equal to 5x and it is equal to £70

then x is equal to 14

so James shared = 3x i.e. £52

Answer 2

£$105$ Money does James get.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values are

Ratio of Carly and James money $= 5:3$

Let's assume

          Carly get $5x$ money share

          James get $3x$ money share

According to the question

Carly gets £ $70$ more than James

So,

            $5x = 3x + 70$

             $5x-3x = 70\\2x = 70\\x = 35$

value of $x = 35$

Carly gets money $=5x$

putting value of $x$

                        $= 5 \times 35$

Carly gets money $=$  £$175$

And,

James gets money $=3x$

Putting the value of

                               $= 3\times 35$

James gets money $=$  £$105$

Thus,

Carly gets money $=$  £$175$

James gets money $=$  £$105$
