Question

Henry and Gavin win some money and share it in the ratio 5:3. Henry gets £14 more than Gavin. How much did they get altogether?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If Gavin earns x.

Henry earns x + 14

Total = 2x + 14

Ratio = 5:3

=> x/x+14 = 3/5

=> 5x = 3x + 42

=> 2x = 42

=> x = 21

Gavin earns x = 21

Henry earns x + 14 = 21 + 14 = 35
