Question

Ivan and tanya share £150 in the ratio 4:1 work out how much more ivan gets compared to tanya

Answer 1

Ivan gets 50 dollars more than Tanya.

Answer 2

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.
