Answer 1

Dan get £14, Richard get £42, Nick get £14

Explanation:

Given : Dan, Richard and Nick share £70 in a ratio 1:3:1.

To find : How much money does each person get?​

Solution :

Let the ratio be 'x'

The ratio is 1 : 3 : 1

So, Dan has £x

Richard has £3x

Nick has £x

Total share is £70

i.e.
`x+3x+x=70`

`5x=70`

`x=(70)/(5)`

`x=14`

So, Dan get £14

Richard get
`3x=3(14)=42`

Nick get £14
