Question

If $600 is shared in the ratio 3:5:4, the difference between the largest and the smallest share is ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for this is 3x + 5x + 4x = 600 where x is the same amount of money multiplied by the scalar value to ensure the money is divided in that ratio exactly. That gives us 12x = 600.

x = 50.

The largest value is 5(50) = 250 and

the smallest value is 3(50) = 150.

The difference between these is $100.
