Question

price money of R4000 must be shared among the first three winners in the ratio 5:3:2, calculate how much each winner will receive?​

Answer 1

Answer: Explanation below

Explanation:

R4000 is the money to be split

5:3:2 is the ratio

We can add the ratios together.

5+3+2=10

The first winner = 5/10 x 4000

= R2000

The second winner = 3/10 x 4000

= R1200

The third winner = 2/10 x 4000

= R800

Hope this helped :)
