Linda and Philip share £54 in the ratio 4:5. Find how much money each of them will recieve​

Sagot :

Answer:

Linda has £24 and Philip has £30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote a variable to the amount of money Linda and Philip have:

Money Linda has = L

Money Philip has = P

L + P = 54

There is a ratio of 4:5 so for every £4 Linda has, Philip will have £5. When adding both values, 4+5, you get 9.

Divide the total amount of money by the sum of the ratio numbers so 54/9 which gives 6.

Multiply the number you get from the division by their respective ratios.

Linda = 6 * 4 = 24

Philip = 6 * 5 = 30

Add both numbers if you want to make sure the answer is correct.
