Answer 2

Answer:

26 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the amount of money they have £100 because this makes the question easier.

Colin gets 3/10 of the money, so Colin will get £30.

After Colin has taken his share £70 will be left over.

The ratio give is 3:2. So 3+2 is equal to 5.

The amount of money left over is then divided by the ratio added in this case its 70/5.

70/5 gives us an answer of 14 .

This means that each share is equal to £14.

Emma gets the ratio of 3 so we do 3*14 which gives us he answer of  £42.

And if we do 3*2 we get the answer of £28.

We then know Dave gets £26 pounds from the £100 at the start.

26/100 converted to a percentage is 26%.
