Question

Paul, Colin and Brian are waiters.
One night the restaurant earns tips totalling £77.40.
They share the tips in the ratio 1:3:5.
How much more does Brian get over Paul?

Answer 1

Answer:34.4£

Step-by-step explanation

Let money given to Paul be x

Money given to Colin be 3x

Money given to Brian be 5x

Now,

x+3x+5x=77.40£

9x=77.40£

X=77.40£/9

X=8.6

Hence money with Paul=8.6£

Money with Colin = 3×8.6=25.8£

Money with Brian = 5×8.6=43£

Hence, Brian have 43-8.6=34.4£ more money than Paul.
