Question

2. In the ratio of 3:2:2, three brothers invested a total of 249,000 to open a store. Find each

brother's share in the investment.
Answer:​

Answer 1

$106,714.29

$71,142.86

$71,142.86

Explanation:

There's a total of 7 pieces that they invested (3 + 2 + 2 = 7) so you can do 249,000 / 7 to find what each piece was worth.

249000/7 = about 35571.43

(you always have to round money to 2 decimal places)

Then the amount each brother spent would be:

3 * 35571.43 = 106714.29

2 * 35571.43 = 71142.86

2 * 35571.43 = 71142.86
