Question

Laurie and Scott decide to compare their
allowances they earn for doing chores. They
discover a 4:7 ratio. Their combined allowance is
$143. How much did each person make for their
allowance?

Answer 1

Answer:

okay it is a very simple one there you go

take the ratio in form of 'x'

therefore 4x+7x=143

11x=143

therefore x=13

now multiply it with the ratio we get,

4*13=52

7*13=91

thank you
