Complete question :

Aaron, Mathew and Sara share some money. Aaron gets 30% of the money. Mathew gets 3/8 of the money. Sara gets the rest. If Mathew gets £24 , how much do Aaron and Sara get?

Answer:

Sara = £20.8

Aaron = £19.2

Explanation:

Let the amount of money = x

Mathew = (3/8) of x

Aaron = 30% of x = 0.3x

If (3/8)x = 24

3x / 8 = 24

3x = 192

x = £64

Aaron gets 30% = 0.3 * £64 = £19.2

Sara = £64 - (19.2 + 24)

Sara = £64 - £43.2

Sara = £20.8
