Question

In one day Lucy sold clothes with a total value of $2200 in the ratio
men:women:children = 2:5:4.
Calculate the value of the omen's clothes she sold.

Answer 1

$answer$

2:5:4 = 2+5+4=11

$women \:$

$\frac{5}{11} \times 2200 = 1000$

Hence $1000

Answer 2

Let the cost of men's clothes be 2x
Let the cost of women's clothes be 5x
Let the cost of children's clothes be 4x
Total value =2200

2x + 5x + 4x = 2200
11x = 2200
x = 2200/11
x = 200

2x = 2x200 =400 rupees (men)
3x = 3x200 =600 rupees (women)
4x = 4x200 =800 rupees (children)
