Answer:
Paul's original share is £ 65
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The ratio of money Dan and Paul has = 11 : 5
Let, Dan's share = 11x,
Paul's share = 5x,
Where,
x is any positive real numbers,
Now, if Dan gives Paul £39 of his share,
Then, Dan's share = 11x - 39,
Paul's share = 5x + 39
Thus, the new ratio of there share =
According to the question,
By cross multiplication,
By additive property of equality,
By subtraction property of equality,
By division property of equality,
Hence, Paul's original share = 5(13) = £ 65
