Answer 1

Answer:

£39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

The sharing formula is

5:3

Let June get £x

Buck gets £26 more than june

Buck = x+26

Applying the part to part ratio method

5/3= x+26/x

cross multiply

3(x+26)= 5x

3x+78= 5x

78= 5x-3x

78= 2x

x= 78/2

x= £39

Hence June get £39
