<h3>What is a Ratio?</h3>
A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.
Given for every 1 Naira that Z get,Y gets 2 Naira and for every 3 Naira that Y gets X gets 4 Naira. Therefore, the ratio of z to y can be written as,
Z/Y = 1/2
Multiplying both by 3,
Z / Y = 3 / 6
The ratio of Y to X can be written as,
Y/X = 3 / 4
Now, the ratio of the three together can be written as,
X : Y : Z = 8 : 6 : 3
Further we can write,
8a + 6a + 3a = 68
17a = 68
a = 4
As Y gets 6a, therefore, he will get,
Y = 6a = 6(4) = 24 Naira
Hence, Y will get 24 Naira.
