Question

Chris and Molly win money in a competition. They share the money in the ratio 2 : 3. Molly receives £240. How much money does Chris receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

I think the answer is 320.

Answer 2

Answer:

Chris receives £160

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common amount received be x

∴ 3x = 240

So, 2x will be the prize money Chris receives

∴ x = $\frac{240}{3}$ = 80

∴ 2x = 2 × 80 = 160

Hence, Chris receives £160
