Question

Kate wants to divide 20,000 peso savings between her 2 cousins. If she divides it in the ratio 2:3 between Maria and Ana, respectively, how much will each receive.

Answer 1

Maria: 2x

Ana: 3x

2x + 3x = 20000

5x = 20000

x = 20000/5

x = 400

Maria: 2x

2× 400

8000

Anna: 3x

3 × 400

12000
