Question

2. Amirah, Huixian and Priya make a total of 1530 toys in the ratio 12: 16:17.

(ii) the amount of money Priya earns if she is paid $1.65 for each toy.

Answer 1

$953.70

Explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 12 + 16 + 17 = 45 parts

divide the total number of toys by 45 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

1530 ÷ 45 = 34 , then

Priya makes 17 × 34 = 578 toys

she is paid $1.65 per toy, so is paid

578 × $1.65 = $953.70
