Question

Ivan and Tanya share £150 in the ratio 4:1
How much more does Ivan get than Tanya

Answer 1

Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya

Explanation:

Given that

Total amount = £150

Ratio: 4:1

First of all we have to find the sum of ratio: 4+1 = 5

Now,

Ivan's Share:

`= (4)/(5) * 150\\= 120`

Tanya's Share:

`=(1)/(5) * 150\\= 30`

Ivan gets £120 and Tanya gets £30

The difference between their shares is the answer.

So,

`= 120-30 = 90`

Hence,

Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya
