Question

Ann and betty shared the sum of money in the ratio 2:3, if ann received $60 less than betty, what was the total sum of money shared

Answer 1

One way to approach this would be to count the number of parts in the ratio: It's 2 + 3 = 5. Then Ann's share is 2/5 of the total amount. Betty's is 3/5. Your job is to determine (1) the amount of $ that they split up, and (2) what Betty receives as her share. Let x = the amount the girls split up
I think that would be the answer.
