Fiona and Pip win some money and share it in the ratio 6:1. Fiona gets £35 more than Pip. How much did they get altogether?

$\red{ \rule{35pt}{2pt}} \orange{ \rule{35pt}{2pt}} \color{yellow}{ \rule{35pt} {2pt}} \green{ \rule{35pt} {2pt}} \blue{ \rule{35pt} {2pt}} \purple{ \rule{35pt} {2pt}}$

$\boxed{ \mathfrak { solution↷}}$

Let Pip get be x and fiona get be x+35

Ratio = 6:1

$\tt \frac{x + 35}{x } = 6$

$\tt \: x + 35 = 6x$

$\tt \: 5x = 35$

$\tt \: x = 7$

$\boxed{ \sf \: Total \: money = x + x + 35 = 14+ 35 = £49}$
