Answer 2

Answer:

Sarah gets $\frac{3}{8}$ × 40 = £15

Fiona gets $\frac{3}{8}$ × 40 = £15

David gets $\frac{2}{8}$ × 40 = £10

Step-by-step explanation:

If £40 is shared between three person in the ratio of 3:3:2 then calculate the amount each person gets.

To find the amount each person gets we are goin to change the ratios of each person into fractions.

To turn to fraction add all portions in the ratio:

3 + 3 + 2 = 8 (this will be the denominator for all proportions.)

Therefore Sarah gets $\frac{3}{8}$, Fiona gets $\frac{3}{8}$ and David gets $\frac{2}{8}$.

Sarah gets $\frac{3}{8}$ × 40 = £15

Fiona gets $\frac{3}{8}$ × 40 = £15

David gets $\frac{2}{8}$ × 40 = £10
