Question

Share £28.08 in the ratio 7 : 5

Answer 1

Given,

The total amount of money is £28.08

To find,

Distributed money in the ratio of 7:5

Solution,

Let,the two parts of money = £7x and £5x

(Assume,x as a variable which is merged with the given ratio, to perform the further mathematical calculations.)

The total amount of money

= 7x+5x

= £12x

Now,if we compare the total amount of money that we have calculated and the total amount of money that is given in the question,we will get the following mathematical equation :

12x = 28.08

x = 2.34

So,the first part of the money = 7×2.34 = £16.38

The second part of money = 5×2.34 = £11.7

Hence,the distributed parts of money in 7:5 ratio are £16.38 and £11.7, respectively.
