Question

Nathan, Ayesha and Jordan share some money in the ratio 9:18:12. Ayesha gets £18 more than Nathan. How much does Jordan get?

Answer 1

Let

Money with Nathan be 9x

Money with Ayesha be 18x

Money with Jordan be 12x

Condition 1 )

Money with Ayesha = 9x + 18

18x = 9x + 18

18x - 9x = 18

9x = 18

x = 18/2

x = 9

Thus, finally we have :

Money with Nathan ;

9x = 9 × 9 = £ 81

Money with Ayesha ;

18x = 18 × 9 = £ 162

Money with Jordan ;

12x = 12 × 9 = £ 108
