Answer 1

Answer:

C- $300

Jon share - 1/8 of 600= 75

Paul share-2/8 of 600= 150

Henry share -5/8 of 600 = 375

375-75=300 Henry will get 300 more then john

Answer 2

Answer:

Henry received 300 more than John

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios 1x : 2x : 5x

Given that

1x + 2x + 5x = 600

8x = 600

x = 75

John = 1x = $ 75

Paul = 2x = $ 150

Henry = 5x = $ 375

Henry received 300 ( 375 - 75) more than John
