Answer 1

Given:

Nick, Jim and June share money in the ratio 5:5:3.

In total Nick and June received £88.

To find:

The amount received by Jim.

Solution:

Let Nick, Jim and June received 5x, 5x and 3x respectively.

In total Nick and June received £88.

`5x+3x=88`

`8x=88`

`x=(88)/(8)`

`x=11`

Now, the amount received by Jim is

`\text{Jim get}=5x`

`=5(11)`

`=55`

Therefore, the amount received by Jim is £55.
