Question

Peter won £75 as a prize.He gave 4/5 of the prize money as a present to Roger and Bethan.Roger and Bethan shared the present in the ratio 2:3 .work out how much they each got​

Answer 1

Roger: $24
Bethan: $36

Explanation:
4/5 of $75 is $60

So $60 is distributed to Roger and Bethan in the ratio 2 : 3.

Add the numbers in the ratio 2 : 3
2 + 3 = 5

Divide $60 by 5
60 ÷ 5 = 12

Multiply each number in the ratio 2 : 3 by 12:
2 • 12 : 3 • 12
= 24 : 36
