Question

Gordon, Henry and Sarah share £48 in a ratio 2:3:1. How much money does each person get?

Answer 1

Answer:

Gordon gets 16£, Henry gets 24£ and Sarah gets 8£

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio be 2x + 3x + 1x

Total amount = £48

So;

2x + 3x + x = 48

6x = 48

x = 48 / 6

x = 8

Now

2x = 16

3x = 24

x = 8
