Answer 2

Answer:

Out of ₹54 Sam will get ₹30 and Bethan will get ₹24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam and Bethan share £54

Here total amount is ₹54

Given ratio is 5:4

We know , If total amount is a and ratio of parts is x:y then 1st part $= a \times \frac{x}{x + y}$

And 2nd part $= a \times \frac{y}{x + y}$

So according to question,

Sam will get$54 \times \frac{5}{5 + 4} = 54 \times \frac{5}{9} = 6 \times 5 = 30$

Bethan will get$54 \times \frac{4}{5 + 4} = 54 \times \frac{4}{9} = 6 \times 4 = 24$

So out of ₹54 Sam will get ₹30 and Bethan will get ₹24.
