Answer 1

$45

Explanation:

ratio is 3:5

David gets 3x, Jack gets 5x

So, 3x+5x=120

8x=120

x=15

David got 3x = 3*15 = $45

Answer 2

Explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 3 + 5 = 8 parts

Divide the amount by 8 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

$120 ÷ 8 = $15 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

3 parts = 3 × $15 = $45 ← amount David received
