Question

Caroline and sarah win som money and share it in the ratio 6:1 caroline gets £70 more than sarah how much did they get all together

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a ratio problem. The amount of money that Sarah has can be labeled as "x." The amount that Caroline has would then be x + 8.

Since the ratio of Sarah's money stash to Caroline's money stash is equal to 6:1, we can do this:

x + 70 / x = 6 / 1

Now we can cross-multiply:

1(x + 70) = 6x

1x + 70= 6x

70 = 5x

14 = x

So Sarah has 14 pounds. Caroline must have (14 + 70) or 84 pounds.

They get ( 14+84) or 98 pounds in total

Step-by-step explanation:
