Question

Sam and Bethan share £54 in the ratio 5:4. Work out how much each person gets

Answer 1

Let the numbers be x

$5x + 4x = 54$

$9x = 54$

$x = \frac{54}{9}$

$x = 6$

$Money \: \: that \: \: Sam \: \: gets = 5x = 5 \times 6 = 30$

$money \: \: that \: \: Bethan \: \: gets = 4x</p><p> = </p><p>4 \times 6 = 24$

Sam gets £30 while Bethan gets £24

Answer 2

Answer:

Sam gets £30

Bethan gets £24

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio =5:4

Let the share of Sam be 5x and Bethan be 4x.

Therefore,

5x+4x=9x

9x= 54

x= 54/9= 6

so, Sam gets 5x= 5×6= 30

Bethan gets 4x= 4×6= 24
