Brian & Paul share a lottery win of £7800 in the ratio 1 : 4. Brian then shares his part between himself, his wife & the
Elza [17]

Answer:

The wife gets £468 over the son

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we shall calculate the total amount Brian made from from what he and Paul won.

The ratio is 1:4, meaning for every 2 part Brain takes, Paul takes 4

Paul’s share is thus 1/5 * 7800 = 7800/5 = £1560

Now we have another ratio for sharing the amount Brain has at home.

The total ratio here is 1+6+3 = 10

The share of the wife will be 6/10 * 1560 = 6 * 156 = 936

The son share is half of this which is 936/2 = 468

The difference between their shares is £936-£468 = £468
