Answer:

£ 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :-

  • Total amount be x .

Given ratio :-

  • 4 : 3 : 5 .

→ Sum of ratios = 4 + 3 + 5 = 12 .

According to Question :-

→ 3/12 × x = £21

→ x = £21 × 12/3

→ x = £ 84 .

Answer:

£84.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 + 3 + 5 = 12 parts.

The second person got 3 parts so we can write:

3/12 x = 21      where x is the required amount of money

x = 21 * 12/3

= 21 * 4

= £84.
