Question

Two friends share some money in the ratio 5:4.
The smaller share is $200.
Work out the total amount of money they share.​

Answer 1

Answer:

450$

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ratios be x

since we know that 200 = 4x,

therefore x =  200/4,

x = 50

hence from above answer we can find out that the bigger share is 50 * 5 which is 250. Hence the total amount of money is 5x + 4x which equals 450$

hope this helps
