Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 3250.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that some amount of money is shared among Ann, Ben and Cheryl in the ratio 3:7:10 and Ben got 650 more than Ann. We are to find the total amount of money shared.

Let, '3x', '7x' and '10x' be the amount of money received by Ann, Ben and Cheryl respectively. Then, according to the given information, we have

`3x+650=7x\\\\\Rightarrow 4x=650\\\\\Rightarrow x=162.5.`

Therefore, total sum of money that shared is given by

`S=3x+7x+10x=20x=20* 162.5=3250.`

Thus, the answer is 3250.
