Mrs. Johnson gave a sum of money to her son and daughter in the ratio 5: 6. Her daughter received $2,400. How much did Mrs. Johnson give away in all?

Answer 1

$4,400

Explanation:

son:daughter = 5:6

So, the daughter would represent the 6.

2,400 divided by 6 = 400

400x5=2,000

2,000+2,400=4,400
