Question

Mark and Henry win some money and share it in the ratio 4:3. Mark gets £9 more than Henry. How much did they get altogether?

Answer 1

They altogether got £15.75

Explanation:

Mark=4

Henry=3

Total ratio= 4+3= 7

Mark's share=4/7

Henry's share=3/7

If Mark's 4= £9

then the total 7 = ( 7 *9)/4 = 15.75

They altogether got £15.75
