Question

Chelsea and Jennifer decide to open a fitness center. They need to invest $125,000 to start the business. They invest in a 2:3 ratio, respectively. How much did Jennifer invest? Someone Please Help me !

Answer 1

The first thing we need to know is that the Jennifer-Chelsea ratio is as follows:
3: 2
Equivalently:
3/2
To know how much Jennifer invests, we have to:
(3 / (2 + 3)) = x / 125000
Clearing x:
x = 125000 * (3 / (2 + 3)) = 75000
answer
Jennifer invest 75000 $
