Question

Some money is shared between erin, faye and sachin in the ratio 5:2:7. Faye gets £90 less than sachin. How much money did Erin get?

Answer 1

Erin gets £90

Explanation:

Ratio = 5 : 2 : 7

Money with Erin = 5x

Money with Faye = 2x

Money with Sachin = 7x

Faye gets £90 less than Sachin

7x - 2x = 90

5x = 90

x = 90/5

x = 18

Money with Erin = 5*18 = 90
