Question

I got some money for my birthday I saved and spend in the ratio 2:3 I saved 32$ how much money did I recieve for my birthday

Answer 1

The amount is received is 80$

Explanation:

For the above question, the ratio is given as:

Money saved : Money spent

2:3

The sum of the proportion = 2+3

= 5

Let the amount I received be represented as x

From the question, we were told that:

I saved 32$

Proportion for money saved = 2

Hence:

2/5 of x = 32$

2/5 × x = 32

2x /5 = 32

Cross Multiply

2x = 32 × 5

x = 32 × 5/2

x = 80$

Therefore, you received 80$ for your birthday
