Jayden, Maggy, and Ramon shared $49 in the ratio 2:5:7. How much more did Ramon get then Jayden

Sagot :

Since the ratio is 2:5:7, you can set up the equation 2x + 5x + 7x = 49. Solving it will give you 14x = 49 or x = 3.5. This means that Jayden got 7(3.5) = $24.50 and Ramon got 2(3.5) = $7. Therefore Ramon got $24.50 - $7 more than Jayden, which is equal to $17.50.
Ramon got 24.5 and jayden got 7 so then it will be 24.5 _ 7= 17.5
