Answer:
Ruby=18, Edward=24, Charlie=27, David=42, Emma=45
Explanation:
sum of ratios is 52
for each one write the ratio over the sum of ratio multiplied by total amount
=18
=24
=27
=42
=45
and to check add all of them and they give 156 pounds
Ruby: £18
Edward: £24
Claire: £27
David: £42
Emma: £45
6 + 8 + 9 + 14 + 15 = 52
Each one receives the following fraction of the total:
Ruby: 6/52
Edward: 8/52
Claire: 9/52
David: 14/52
Emma: 15/52
Ruby: 6/52 × £156 = £18
Edward: 8/52 × £156 = £24
Claire: 9/52 × £156 = £27
David: 14/52 × £156 = £42
Emma: 15/52 × £156 = £45
