Question

Denver gets 5/19 of the dog food.

Engle and Fido share the rest of the food in the ratio 4:3 what is Fido’s share of the dog food. Show answer as a percentage

Answer 1

Fido have
`(42)/(95)` of the dog food (44.211 %), Engle have
`(28)/(95)` of the dog food (29.474 %) and Denver have
`(5)/(19)` of the dog food (26.316 %).

Explanation:

If Denver gets
`(5)/(19)` of the dog food, then Engle and Fido share
`(14)/(19)` of the dog food. If Fido have
`x` of the dog food, then Engle have
`(4)/(3)\cdot x` such that:

`x + (4)/(3)\cdot x = (14)/(19)`

`(5)/(3)\cdot x = (14)/(19)`

`x = (42)/(95)`

Fido have
`(42)/(95)` of the dog food (44.211 %), Engle have
`(28)/(95)` of the dog food (29.474 %) and Denver have
`(5)/(19)` of the dog food (26.316 %).
