2:3 ratio

His dad pays 52.5, divide 3 to that:

52.5 / 3 = 17.5

Multiply this to 2:

17.5 * 2 = 35

This is what Adam pays, now add this to what his Dad pays to find the total:

35 + 52.5 = 87.5

So the total cost of the meal is $87.50

the total cost is divided in the ration 2:3

we can take it as Adam pays 2 parts and Adams dad pays 3 parts

the amount that Adams dad pays is 52.50

Adams dad pays 3 parts thats equivalent to - 52.50

then one part is - 52.50 / 3 = 17.50

the total cost is divided in the 2:3 ratio therefore total cost is equivalent to 2+3 = 5 parts

one part is equivalent to 17.50

therefore 5 parts are equivalent to - 17.50 x 5 = 87.50

the total cost of the meal is 87.50
