Answer:
Linda has £24 and Philip has £30.
Explanation:
Denote a variable to the amount of money Linda and Philip have:
Money Linda has = L
Money Philip has = P
L + P = 54
There is a ratio of 4:5 so for every £4 Linda has, Philip will have £5. When adding both values, 4+5, you get 9.
Divide the total amount of money by the sum of the ratio numbers so 54/9 which gives 6.
Multiply the number you get from the division by their respective ratios.
Linda = 6 * 4 = 24
Philip = 6 * 5 = 30
Add both numbers if you want to make sure the answer is correct.
