Question

Ivan and Tanya share £150 in the ratio 4: 1

Work out how much more Ivan gets compared to Tanya.​

Answer 1

Ivan got £90 more than Tanya.

Explanation:

Ivan and Tanya share the amount £150 in the ratio of 4 : 1

Amount received by Ivan =
`150* (4)/((4+1))`

=
`150* (4)/(5)`

= £120

Similarly, amount received by Tanya =
`150* (1)/((4+1))`

= £30

Difference in their amounts = 120 - 30

= £90

Therefore, Ivan got £90 more than Tanya.
