$\bf \large{Solution :-}$

$\sf We \: are \: given,$

$• \: \sf{Sam \: and \:Began \: share \: £54 \: in \: the \: ratio \: 5:4 \: work \: out }$

$\sf{We \: have \: t o \: find, }$

$• \: \sf{how \: much \: each \: person \: gets.}$

$\sf{Let \: the \: constant \: be \: x. }$

$\sf{So, \: Sam \: will \: get \: £ 5x \: and \: Began \: will \: get \: £ 4x.}$

$\sf{According \: t o \: the \: question, }$

$\sf5x + 4x = 54$

$\sf⇒9x = 54$

$\sf⇒x = 6$

$\sf \pink{ \therefore{Sam \: gets \:£ (5 \times 6) =£ 30}}$

$\sf \pink{\therefore{Began \: gets \: £(4 \times6) = £24}}$
