Question

Divide $210 in the ratio 2:5

Answer 1

Let us say Karen received X amount of money. Then Natasha has received (X+210).
The ratio that the money divided was 2:5.
X/(X+210) = 2/5
5X = 2(X+210)
3X = 420
X = 140
Total money shared
= X+(X+210)
= 140+140+210
= 490

So the total money shared was $490.
