Question

Andy,Taylor and Ben share their team payment in a ratio of 1:3:4. What % dies Andy receive

Answer 1

Answer: 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation: Ratio describes the relative magnitudes between quantities. Their payment is given in the ratio of 1:3:4. Andy = 1, Taylor = 3, and Ben = 4

To figure out the ratio Andy receives, we first add the ratios together to get the sum of ratios.

Therefore, 1 + 3 + 4 = 8

Andy receives 1 out of 8 = ⅛

Representing fractions as percentages, we simply multiply by 100/1.

⅛ x (100/1) = 100/8 = 12.5%

Therefore, Andy receives 12.5% as his share of their team payment.

Answer 2

Andy receives 1 share out of 8 total.

$\frac{1}{8} *100=12.5 \text{ percent}$
