Brian and Colin win some money and share it in the ratio 5:1. Brian gets £60 more than Colin. How much did they get altogether?
1 answer:
Brian gets 5x and Colin gets x amount.
Brian gets 60 more than Colin, so you get:
5x - x = 60
Simplify to get:
4x = 60
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 15
Brian gets 5x = 5(15) = 75
Colin gets x = 15
75 + 15 = 90
The total amount they get is £90
