Question

Paul and Brian win some money and share it in the ratio 4:.1. Paul gets £24 more than Brian how much did they get altogether

Answer 1

Answer:

£40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let money received by Brian = y

Then, money received by Paul = 4y

Since they have the money shared in the ratio of 4:1

Paul got 24 more than Brian,

⇒ 4y = y + 24

⇒ 3y = 24

⇒ y = 8

Total Money between them = y + 4y = 5y

= 5 x 8

= 40
