Question

Lauren, Rachel and Becca started a business over the summer. Their income was $500. The girls put in different amounts of work, so they have decided to split the profits 6: 3: 4. How much money does each girl get?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: total income=$500

Ratio of partition of money6:3:4

( Which gives that lauren gets 6x, rachel gets 3x and Becca gets 4x)

6x+3x+4x=500

13x=$500

X=500/13 ( transposition method)

x= 38.46

So lauren gets 6(38.46)… rachel gets 3(38.46)while Becca gets 4(38.46)…

Lauren= 230.76

Rachel=115.38

Becca= 153.84
