Answer:
where are the statements...
mention the statements first
The amount given to them is GHS300.00
Step-by-step explanation:
A man gave an amount of money to his three sons Yao, Esi and Ampa in the ratio of their years
- Yao is 15 years
- Esi is 10 years
- Ampa 5 years
- Esi had GHS100.00
We need to find the amount given to them
Let us use the ratio method to solve the problem
∵ Yao is 15 years old
∵ Esi is 10 years old
∵ Ampa is 5 years old
∴ The ratio between them is
→ Yao : Esi : Ampa
→ 15 : 10 : 5
Simplify the terms of the ratio by divide each term by 5
∴ The ratio between their ages in the simplest form is
→ Yao : Esi : Ampa
→ 3 : 2 : 1
∵ Esi had GHS100.00
→ Yao : Esi : Ampa : Total
→ 3 : 2 : 1 : 6 ( 3 + 2 + 1 = 6)
→ : 100 : : x
Use the cross multiplication to find x
∵ 2(x) = 100(6)
∴ 2x = 600
- Divide both sides by 2
∴ x = 300
∵ x represents the total money given to them
∴ The amount given to them is GHS300.00
The amount given to them is GHS300.00

All the angles should add up to 360°.
8x+10x+9+21x-12+90=360°
Group like terms together.
So,8x+10x+21x+9+90-12=360
39x+87=360
39x=360-87
39x=273
x=7
