Question

Plssss can you answer this question??

Answer 1

The answer: Tom will get 166£ and Ben will get 581£

The solution and explanation: since we need to share the money in the ratio 2:7, we see the number of total parts of money that we will have is 9. Because 7+2=9 so we will have 9 parts of which we will give 2 parts to Tom and 7 parts to Ben.

Step by step:

Step one: we divide 747 by nine to get the amount of money included in one part. 747:9=83

Step two: we multiply 83 by 2 to find out how much money will Tom get
83•2=166

Step three: we multiply 83 by 7 to find out how much money will Ben get
83•7=581
