Answer: 40:80:80

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 1:2:2. This means, for every 5, the money is split in a ratio of 1:2:2. Let’s calculate how many 5s there are in 200. 200 / 5 = 40. So, the money will be split in 1:2:2 every 5 dollars 40 times.

Excellent. So, we can easily find out the ratio by multiplying the ratio 1:2:2 by 40. 1*40:2*40:2*40 = 40:80:80. Let’s add these up, and see if they result in 200. 40 + 80 + 80 = 200. So, our answer is correct.

Hope this helps!
