Question

Sara and Gordon win some money and share it in the ratio 5:2. Sara gets £21 more than Gordon. How much did Gordon get?

Answer 1

Answer:

let Sara get 5x and Gordon get 2x

now,

5x-2x = £21

3x = £21

x = £7

therefore,

Sara got 5x = 5×7=>£35

Gordon got 2x = 2×7=>£14

Answer 2

Answer:45£

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount with Gordan be 5x.

and

the amount with Sara be 3x.

The equation will be

5x = 3x + 30 which gives x = 15

Now, Gordon have 3x i.e. 3×15= 45.
