Answer:
$48
Explanation:
Since we are given the ratio 3:2 we can use that with the given number to find our missing amount
first, we divide 72 by 3 to find what 1/3 will be 72/3 = 24
Then, we multiply by 2 to find our missing amount 24 * 2 = 48
A ratio of 3:2 could be $3 and $2, or any multiple of 3 and 2 such as $6 and $4. Kristen corresponds to $3 and receives $72.
$72/$3 = x/$2
3x = 2 * $72
3x = $144
x = $48
