Answer:

Tom's share = £166

Ben's share  = £581.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There is an amount  £747

To Find : Share £747 in the ratio 2:7 between Tom and Ben

Solution :

Since we are given that the amount is shared in ratio 2:7

So, Let Tom's share be 2x

Let Ben's share be  7x .

Since the total amount was  £747

⇒ 7x = 747

⇒9x = 747

⇒9x = 747/9

⇒x= 83

So, Tom's share = 2x = 2*83=£166

Ben's share = 7x = 7*83 = £581.
