Question

Rusty, Henry and Linda have recorded a hit song. If Rusty gets 2/5 of the income and Henry gets 1/3 and they earn 450,000, how much does Linda receive?

Answer 1

223,140.5

Explanation:

Rusty and Henry gets
`(2)/(5)+(1)/(3)=(11)/(15)` of the whole share (which is 1).

We can setup a ratio and solve for for total amount, which is t:

`((11)/(15))/(450,000)=(1)/(t)\\(11)/(15)t=450,000\\t=(450,000)/((11)/(15))\\t=613,636.36`

since both get 11/15th of the total, linda will get 15 - 11 = 4, 4/11th of the total

Linda's share is = 223,140.5
