Question

Paul and Quinn share some money in a ratio 3:2, Paul gets 60 more than Quinn, how much does Quinn get

Answer 1

Answer: 120

Step-by-step explanation:

3+2=5

Let x be the amount of money to be shared

Paul’s share which is (3/5)x is 60+ Quinn’s share which is (2/5)x

Therefore

(3/5)x= (2/5)x + 60

(3/5)x - (2/5)x= 60

(x/5)=60

Cross multiply

x= 60*5=300

It means that Quinn’s share is (2/5)(300)= 120

Answer 2

Add the ratios =5

Quinn's ratio

2÷5 ×60

=24
