Question

Nick and June win some money and share it in the ratio 3:1. Nick gets £60 more than June. How much did they get altogether?

Answer 1

Answer:

£120

Step-by-step explanation:

If Nick gets £60 more than June, this means that £60 accounts for two of his three parts of the ratio. Therefore, if we divide £60 by 2 we get £30 - which is worth 1 part of the ratio. £30 x 4 (the number of parts to the ratio) is £120.

I hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER:-

Given That:-

• Nick and June share some money in Ratio 3:1
• Nick gets £60 more than June

To find:-

The money altogether they got.

Let's Do!

Let us assume the ratio constant as x.

So, amount of money Nick has is 3x

And, amount of money June has is x.

Forming the equations and equating them we get:-

$\sf{3x = 1x+60}$

$\sf{3x-x = 60}$

$\sf{2x = 60}$

$\sf{x = \dfrac{60}{2}}$

$\sf{x = 30}$

So, we got the value of x as 30. Now, we can say that:-

1. June won  £30
2. Nick won 3*30 = £90

So, adding their money, we get:-

Sum of June and Nick's money = 90+30 = £120 is the required answer.
