Question

Al, Tom and Joe share €3000.

Answer 1

Answer:

Tom's share = €800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount shared by Al, Tom and Joe = €3000

Ratio of Al's share to Tom's share = 5 : 4

Joe's share = 1.5(Tom's share) = 1.5(4) = 6

Therefore,

Ratio of Al, Tom and Joe = 5 : 4 : 6

Let,

x be the number of times of amount each get.

5x + 4x + 6x = 3000

15x = 3000

Dividing both sides by 15

$\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{3000}{15}\\x=200$

Tom's share = 4x = 4(200) = €800

Hence,

Tom's share = €800
