Question

Maria, Carolina, and Pedro receive $800 from their grandmother in the ratio 9:5:4 Calculate how much money Carolina receives.

Answer 1

Given:

Maria, Carolina, and Pedro receive $800 from their grandmother in the ratio 9:5:4

To find:

How much money does Carolina receive?

Solution:

Let's assume,

"9x" → represents the share of Maria

"5x" → represents the share of Carolina

"4x" → represents the share of Pedro

The total amount distributed by their grandmother = $ 800

So, to find the value of x, we can form the following equation as:

$9x + 5x + 4x = 800$

$\implies 18x = 800$

$\implies x = \frac{800}{18}$

$\implies \bold{x = 44.444}$

∴ Carolina's share of money = 5x = 5 × 44.444 = $ 222.22

Thus, Carolina receives $ 222.22 from her grandmother.
