Answer 1

Answer:

$1504 , $564 , $188 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratios be 8x: 3x: x

It means if Henri pain $x, Jasmine paid $3x and Abdullah paid $8x.

Total cost = Sum of amount paid by each of them

$ 2256 = $x + $3x + $ 8x

$ 12x = $ 2256

$x = $\frac{2256}{12} = 188$

x = $188

3x = 3*188 = $564

8x = 8*188 = $1504

Therefore, Amount paid by:

Abdullah = $1504

Jasmine = $564

Henri = $188
