How much does Jim get?

Answer 1

Answer:

Jim gets £40

Step-by-step explanation:

The money shared by Nick, Jim and June is in the ratio 5:5:3

The amount of money shared by them can be denoted as:

Nick: 5x

Jim: 5x

June: 3x

We are given that Nick and June receive £88

=> 5x + 3x = 88

=> 11x = 88

=> x = 8

Jim's share = 5x = 5*8 = £40

We can also find Nick's share which is also 5x = £40

Answer 2

Jim gets £55 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of Nick , Jim, June = 5 : 5 : 3

total amount received by Nick and June= £88

Let the total amount be 'x'

So, the amount that Jim get is given by

$\dfrac{8}{13}\times x=88\\\\x=\dfrac{13\times 88}{8}\\\\x=13\times 11\\\\x=143$

So, the amount received by Jim is given by

$143\times \dfrac{5}{13}=5\times 11=55$

Hence, Jim gets £55 .
