Answer:

Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya.

Explanation:

The ratio of Ivan and Tanya's shares is
4:1

Suppose, Ivan's share
=4x and Tanya's share
=1x

The total amount of money is £150. So, the equation will be.....


4x+1x= 150\\ \\ 5x=150\\ \\ x=(150)/(5)=30

So, Ivan's share
=4(30)=120 and Tanya's share
=1(30)=30

Now,
120-30= 90

Thus, Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya.
