Question

Aahil, James and merav share £90 in the ratio 1:3:5 how much does merav get

Answer 1

Given: £90 is divided among Aahil, James and Merav in the ratio 1:3:5.

To find: How much Merav gets.

Answer:

Let's assume the shares of each to be 'x'.

This implies that 1x + 3x + 5x = 90.

9x = 90

x = 90/9

x = 10

Substituting this value of x in the ratio,

• 1 × 10 = 10 [Aahil's share]
• 3 × 10 = 30 [James' share]
• 5 × 10 = 50 [Merav's share]

Therefore, Merav gets £50.

Hope it helps. :)
