Answer:
The amount received by Kate = 170$
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Mr. Brown divided his money between Kate and Brian
the ratio that money is divided = 5:3
the small amount that Brian got = $ 102
here we need to find the amount received by Kate
Let the 5x and 3x are be the amounts of Kate and Brian
[ ∵ the money is divided in the ratio 5:3 ]
from given data the small amount 3x = 102
x = 34 $
the amount received by Kate 5x = 5(34) = 170 $
