Answer:

90

Explanation:

Since the ratio is 4:1 there are 5 (4+1) parts you should divide it into.

150 ÷ 5 = 30

30 = 1 part

30 × 4 = 120

Ivan has 120 while Tanya has 30. to find the difference you subtract the two.

120 - 30 = 90

Hey!

--------------------------------------------------------

Solution:

Ratio is 4/1

Add.

4 + 1 = 5

Divide.

150 / 5 = 30

Multiply for Ivan.

30 x 4 = 120

30 x 1 = 30

Check.

120 + 30 = 150

Subtract.

120 - 30 = 90

Answer:

Ivan has £90 more than Tanya has!
