✽ Question ✽
Xavier and Alicia share some money in the ratio 3:5. Xavier gets $ 75.
A) How much does Alicia get ?
B) how much money do they share ?
✽ Given ✽
Ratio = 3:5
Xavier gets $75.
✽ To find ✽
- How much does Alicia get ?
- How much money do they share ?
✽ Solution ✽
Let the amount Alicia gets be $ x.
According to condition,
3:5 :: 75:x
→ 3/5 = 75/x
→ 3x = 75×5
→ 3x = 375
→ x = 375/3
→ x = 125
✽ Hence ✽
Amount Alicia gets = $ x = $ 125
Total share = $ (75+125) = $ 200
✽ Therefore ✽
A) Alicia gets $ 125
B) They share $ 200.

✽ Question ✽
Kaha and Akiko share their electricity bills in the ratio 4:3. In January Akkiko pays $ 18.
A) How much does Kaya pay ?
B) What is their total bill ?
✽ Given ✽
Ratio = 4:3
Akkiko pays $ 10
✽ To find ✽
- How much does Kaya pah ?
- What is their total bill ?
✽ Solution ✽
Let the amount Kaya pays be $ x.
According to condition,
4:3 :: x:18
→ 4/3 = x/18
→ 3x = 18×4
→ 3x = 72
→ x = 72/3
→ x = 24
✽ Hence ✽
Amount Kaya pays = $ x = $ 24
Total bill = $ (18+24) = $ 42
✽ Therefore ✽
A) Kaya pays $ 24.
B) Their total bill is $ 42.
