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:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the common factor. Then money Pat has will be 2x and money Julie has will be 5x.According to the question, Julie has 45 more than Pat. So 5x =2x+45. Therefore 3x =45 and x is equal to 15. Therefore money Pat has will be equal to 2 multiplied by 15 which is equal to 30.
