Question

Roddy Rich, Lil Baby, JCole, DaBaby, Young Thug, Future, and Gunna invested $4,914,000 in THE MARATHON CLOTHING STORE  in the ratio of 1:2:3:4:5:6:7 respectively. How much did  each one invest?

Answer 1

We are given that a quantity of $4914000 is divided in the ratio of 1:2:3:4:5:6:7. To determine the amount for each one, let's remember that when a quantity "N" is divided in the ratio of x:y:z:d..., then each part corresponds to:

`\text{first part=}(Nx)/(x+y+z+d+\cdots)`
`\text{second part=}(Ny)/(x+y+z+d+\cdots)`

And so on. Therefore, the part of Roddy Rich is:

`\text{Roddy Rich=}((4914000)(1))/(1+2+3+4+5+6+7)=175500`

the part of lil babe is

`\text{lil babe=}((4914000)(2))/(1+2+3+4+5+6+7)=351000`

Jay cole part is:

`\text{Jay cole=}((4914000)(3))/(1+2+3+4+5+6+7)=526500`

Da baby part:

`da\text{ baby=}((4914000)(4))/(1+2+3+4+5+6+7)=702000`

Young thug part:

`\text{young thug=}((4914000)(5))/(1+2+3+4+5+6+7)=877500`

Future part:

`\text{future=}((4914000)(6))/(1+2+3+4+5+6+7)=1053000`

Gunna part:

`\text{Gunna}=((4914000)(7))/(1+2+3+4+5+6+7)=1228500`
