Question

Will, Micah and sue went to dinner. Will paid 1/3 of the dinner bill. Micah and sue paid in the ratio of 2:5. If sue paid $6 more Than Will, how much did the dinner cost

Answer 1

cost = c
names are abbreviated

w = 1/3c

s = 1/3c + 6

from here i cant go further because i don't know what the numbers mean in the 2:5 ratio. but i will continue if u tell me. for example, could it be the paid cost to the total cost ratio?
