Question

Tony and Joan share 24$ in the ratio 3: 5. How much each gets?

Answer 1

Given:

Tony and Joan share 24$ in the ratio 3: 5.

To Find:

How much each gets?

Solution:

Let tony share be = 3x

And Joan share be = 5x

Total money to be shared = 24$

So

Summing up their share must equal to 24$

3x + 5x = 24

8x = 24

x = 3

Tony's share = 3x = 3×3 = 9$

Joan's share = 5x = 5×3 = 15$

Hence, Tony and Joan gets 9$ and 15$ respectively.

Answer 2

Question :

To find share of 24$ to Tony and Joan

Answer :

Given :

• Ratio is 3:5
• = 3/8 and 5/8

• Tony's share =3/8

• Joan's share = 5/8

We have to multiply the given amount with the respective shares.

$\sf\bull \: \: share \: of \: tony \: = 24 \times \frac{3}{8} \\ \\ \sf \: = \frac{72}{8} \\ \\ =\sf 9$

$\bullet\sf \: \: share \: of \: joan \: = 24 \times \frac{5}{8} \\ \\ = \sf \: \frac{120}{8} \\ \\ =\sf 15$

• Tony = 9
• Joan = 15
• 9+15 = 24

So, Tony gets 9$ and

Joan gets 15$ .
