Answer 1

Answer: The egil get 87.5 and Frances get 112.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Total shared money be x.

It is given that David, Egil and Frances share money in the ratio 2:7:9. David gets 25.

Total of the ratio is,

`2+7+9=18`

It means the David, Egil and Frances share
`(2)/(18), (7)/(18) ,(9)/(18)` of the total money.

It is also given that David get 25. So,

`(2)/(18)x=25`

`x=225`

Therefore total shared money is 225.

Egil get,

`(7)/(18)x=(7)/(18)* (225)=87.5`

Frances get,

`(9)/(18)x=(9)/(18)* (225)=112.5`

Therefore, egil get 87.5 and Frances get 112.5.
