Question

Ivan and Tanya share £150 in the ratio 4: 1Work out how much more Ivan gets compared to Tanya.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ivan got £90 more than Tanya.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ivan and Tanya share the amount £150 in the ratio of 4 : 1

Amount received by Ivan = $150\times \frac{4}{(4+1)}$

                                          = $150\times \frac{4}{5}$

                                          = £120

Similarly, amount received by Tanya = $150\times \frac{1}{(4+1)}$

                                                             = £30

Difference in their amounts = 120 - 30

                                              = £90

Therefore, Ivan got £90 more than Tanya.
