Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that David, Egil and Frances share money in the ratio 2:7:9.
Let 2x, 7x and 9x be the amounts of money that David, Agil and Frances get respectively.
We are told that Frances gets $80 more than David. So we can write this information in an equation as:
Now let us solve for x.
Now let us substitute in 7x (amount of money that Egil gets).
Upon cancelling out 7 from numerator and denominator we will get,
Therefore, Egil will get $80.
