Peter and Angad win some money and share it in the ratio 6:1. Peter gets £30 more than Angad. How much did they get altogether?

£42 is the answer: Peter got 36 and Angad got 6.

Peter got 6 times as much as Angad. So, the difference between their amounts is five times what Angad got. That difference is 30, so Angad got 6. Peter got 30 more than that, which is 36. 36+6=42
