The ratio of Harry's money to Lincoln's money is 6:5. If Harry and Lincoln have a total of $715, how much money does Harry have? *

Sagot :

The ratio between them is

[tex]6\colon5[/tex]

and in total they have $715 dollars so we have to find two numbers that:

[tex](6\cdot x)+(5\cdot x)=715[/tex]

and we solve for x

[tex]\begin{gathered} x(6+5)=715 \\ x=\frac{715}{11} \\ x=65 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So harry have:

[tex]65\cdot6=390[/tex]
