Ratios are like fractions in the way that you can simplify them if they have common factors.
we can simplify this ratio to 
1:3
that means that the bigger part got 3 times the amount of the smaller part. The problem says that Evan got the smaller amount, so if we multiply the smaller amount by 3 we should and will get the bigger amount. It says that $420 is the smaller part.
420*3=1260
so the bigger amount of money is $1260
So, because Ricky got the bigger part of Mr. George's money, he must have received
$1260<span />

An item is sold for £305. If this includes a mark up of 7%. Find the buying in price
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Let the original price be 'x'

7/100 * x + x = 305

(7x+100x)/100 = 305

107x = 305 * 100

107x= 30500

x= 30500/107

x= 285.04

Therefore, the original buying price is £ 285.04

Hope you understood......
