Question

$240 was shared in the ratio of 2:3:1 by Jacob,

Answer 1

Answer:

Jacob: $80

Hilary: $120

Brian: $40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount Brian gets be $x.

Amount Jacob gets= $(2x)

Amount Hilary gets= $(3x)

Total amount of money= $x +$(2x) +$(3x)= $(6x)

$240= $(6x)

6x= 240

x= 240÷6

x= 40

Now substitute the value of x to find out the amount of money each one gets.

Brian gets $40.

Amount Jacob gets= 2(40)= $80

Amount Hilary gets= 3(40)= $120
