Sharing a Quantity in a given Ratio

Seite 1

Fiona won £85,000 in the lottery and decided to share it between Samuel and Thomas in the ratio 2 : 3

Work out how much Thomas and Samuel receive:

2+3 = 5 parts (add up the parts)

5 parts is £85,000

1 part is £85,000/5 (divided)

= £17,000

Thomas receives 3 x £17,000 = £51,000

Samuel receives 2 x £17,000 = £34,000
