Answer:
8. Flour = 150 grams
9. Original sum of money = 110 pounds
Explanation:
8. Let the quantities of butter, flour and sugar be 2x, 3x and 4x grams respectively.
So,
2x + 3x + 4x = 450
9x = 450
x = 450/9
x = 50
Flour = 3x = 3*50 = 150 gram
9.
Let Abby, Neil and Dylan have 2x, 4x and 5x pounds respectively.
Since Neil has 40 pounds.
So, 4x = 40
x = 40/4
x = 10
Total amount = 2x + 4x + 5x = 11x = 11*10 = 110 pounds.
Original sum of money = 110 pounds
