Question

A B and C share the rent in a ratio of 4:3:2. The rent is £216. How much does a pay?

Answer 1

Hey there!

For this problem, add all the numbers in the ratio together.

4+3+2= 9

Divide 216 by 9.

216/9= 24

Now, since A represents 4, just multiply 4 by 24.

4*24= 96

A pays $96 dollars.

I hope this helps!
