Question

Julie and Jack run a stall at a car boot sale and take a total of £90. They share the
money in the ratio 4: 5. How much money does each receive?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As the ratio is 4 : 5, first add these numbers together to see by how many parts

the £90 is to be divided.

459 + = , so 9 parts are needed.

Now divide the total by 9.

90/9 = 10 ,

so each part is £10.

Julie gets 4 parts at £10, giving 4 10 × £ = £40,

Jack gets 5 parts at £10, giving 5 10 × £ = £50.
