Question

Adam and his dad share the cost of the meal in the ratio of 2:3.

Adam’s dad pays £52.20.

What is the total cost of the meal? £

Answer 1

If the 2nd person pays £52.20, then £52.20 = 3 (from the ratio).
52.20 / 3 = 17.40. 17.40 X 2 (from the ratio) = 34.80.
52.20 + 34.80 = 87.

The meal cost £87.00
