Answer:
£15000
Explanation:
Lucy, Mary and Nora's father leaves them an inheritance in the
ratio 5: 3:2. Mary gets £4500, How much was there in total?
Giving the ratio of inheritance 5:3:2
5+3+2 = 10
Mary's ratio = 3
Marys share = £4500
Total share x can be gotten as thus
3/10 × x = 4500
3x/10 = 4500
3x = 45000
x = 45000/3
x = 15000
Hence £15000 was there in total
