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
