Question

When One Route and their support act, Cinnamon Bunnies, played, £54,000 was split at a ratio of 1:3:8 between the arena, Cinammon Bunnies and One Route. How much money did One Route make

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of money One Route makes is £36,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the amounts of money the arena, Cinnamon Bunnies and One Route make is  $1:3:8$

So let's assume, the amounts of money the arena, Cinnamon Bunnies and One Route make are $1x,\ 3x\ and\ 8x$ respectively.

Given that, the total amount of money is £54,000. So, the equation will be.....

$1x+3x+8x=54000\\ \\ 12x=54000\\ \\ x=\frac{54000}{12}=4500$

So, the amount of money One Route makes $=8x=(8*\£4500)=\£36,000$

Answer 2

The ratio is split as arena first, Cinnamon Bunnies second and One Route third.

Add the ratios together: 1 + 3 +8 = 12

Divide the total money by 12, then multiply that by the share One Route gets (8)

54,000 / 12 = 4,500

4,500 x 8 = 36,000

One Route get £36,000
