Question

Nick and June win some money and share it in the ratio 3:1. Nick gets 30 £60 more than June. How much did they get altogether

Answer 1

£120

Explanation:

With regards to the above, the difference between the ratio is

3:1 is 2

I.e

(3 - 1) = 2

Nick gets 2 extra, which is equal to £60

Therefore,

1 share = £60/2 = £30

June gets 1 share = 1 × £30 = £30

Nick would get = 3 × £30 = £90

Therefore, the value gotten by both would be;

= £30 + £90

= £120
