Question

Pat and Julie share some money in the ratio 2 : 5 Julie gets $45 more than Pat. How much money did Pat get?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let P = how much money Pat has

2/5 = P/(P + 45)

5P = 2(P + 45)

5P = 2P + 90

5P - 2P = 90

3P = 90

P = 90/3

P = 30

Pat gets $30.

Answer 2

Answer:

pat gets $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Pat has 2x

Julie has 5x

According to condition

5x = 2x + 45

3x = 45

x = 15

2x = 15*2

= 30

therefore, pat has $30
