Answer:

Ashley, jake , Angelina have $270 , $360 and $450 .

Explanation:

As given

Ashley jake and Angelina each had a ratio of 3:4:5 for that $1080.

Let us assume that x be the scalar multiple .

Thus

Ashley have money = 3x

Jake have money = 4x

Angelina have money = 5x

Than the equation becomes

3x + 4x + 5x = 1080

12x = 1080


x = (1080)/(12)

x = 90

Thus

Ashley have money = 3x

= 3 × 90

= $270

Jake have money = 4x

= 4 × 90

= $360

Angelina have money = 5x

= 5 × 90

= $ 450

Therefore Ashley, jake , Angelina have $270 , $360 and $450 .
