Ratio of money distributed between James and Anna = 5:4
That means ,
James got 5x of money share
Anna got 4x of money share.
Now, the total money of both is £36.
According to the question ;
5x + 4x = 36
=>9x = 36
=> x = 4
Hence, James (5x) got £20 and Anna (4x) got £16.
VERIFICATION :-
Total money = Sum of money of james and anna
=> £(20 + 16) = £36 [Verified]
