Question

Ivan and Tanya share £150 in the ratio 4:1 How much more does Ivan get than Tanya

Answer 1

Answer:

Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Total amount = £150

Ratio: 4:1

First of all we have to find the sum of ratio: 4+1 = 5

Now,

Ivan's Share:

$= \frac{4}{5} * 150\\= 120$

Tanya's Share:

$=\frac{1}{5} * 150\\= 30$

Ivan gets £120 and Tanya gets £30

The difference between their shares is the answer.

So,

$= 120-30 = 90$

Hence,

Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya
