Question

Carly and James share some money in the ratio 5:3
Carly gets £70 more than James.
Work out how much money James gets.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of money shared be 5x ; 3x.

given that, Carly gets Rs. 70 more than James.

Carly = 3x + 70

already we know that , Carly's share is 5x.

So, equate both the situations.

5x = 3x + 70

5x - 3x = 70

2x = 70

X = 70/2

X = 35.

Therefore James gets Rs. 105 as a share.

Answer 2

Let the no. be x

so,

5x:3x

We know that Carly has 70 more than James so the equation => 3x + 70 = 5x => 70 = 5x - 3x =>

70 = 2x => 70/2 = x => x = 35.

Money James Gets => 3x = 3*35 = 105 dollar bills.
