Answer:
64,40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Shares owned by Solomon = 8x
Shares owned by nicola = 5x
If Solomon gives 4 shares ,
shares left with Solomon = 8x - 4
Shares with Nicola = 5x + 4
Acc to question ,
8x-4 / 5x+4 = 15/11
88x - 44 = 75x + 60
13x = 104
x = 8
Shares with Solomon = 8×8 = 64
Shares with Nicola = 8×5 = 40
