Question

Two business​ partners, Ellen and​ Bob, invested money in their business at a ratio of 7 to 8. Bob invested the greater amount. The total amount invested was ​$450. How much did each partner​ invest?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ellen invested 210 dollars and bob inveated 240 dollars

Answer 2

Answer:

since ratio = 7:8

let the amount be x

therefore,

Ellen invested = 7x

and Bob invested = 8x

therefore,

total amount = 15x

but given = $450

so, 15x = $450

x = $30

so

Ellen invested = 7x = 7 . 30 = $210

Bob invested = 8x = 8 . 30 = $240

Hope this would help....
