Ron : Samand : Maria = 2 : 3 : 5
Define x:
Let x be the constant ratio
Ron : Samand : Maria = 2x : 3x : 5x
Solve x:
Given that Maria
5x = $150
x = 150 ÷ 5 = $30
Find the total shares received by Ron and Sam:
Ron = 2x = 2(30) = $60
Sam = 3x = 3(30) = $90
Total = 60 + 90 = $150
Answer: Ron and Sam received a total of $150
