Question

When Phillip Cage played, £21,000 was split at a ratio of 2:5 between the arena and Phillip Cage.

How much money did the arena make from Phillip Cage’s concert?

Answer 1

2:5.....added = 7

2/7 (21,000) = 42,000/7 = 6000
5/7 (21,000) = 105,000/7 = 15,000

so the arena made 6,000 and Philip made 15,000

Answer 2

£6,000

Explanation:

"Split in a ratio of 2:5 between the area and Phillip Cage" means that arena got 2 parts and Phillip Cage got 5 parts.

Hence, in total there are 2 + 5 = 7 parts

Also, the total money is £21,000

Each part is worth
`(21,000)/(7)=3000`

"How much money did the arena make from Phillip Cage’s concert?"

The arena got 2 parts and each part is worth £3000, so arena made
`2*3000=6000` pounds
