Question

Divide $4800 between Kofi and Kweku so that Kofi gets three times what Kweku gets

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

let x be the amount Kweku gets then Kofi gets 3x , so

x + 3x = 4800

4x = 4800 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 1200

that is

Kweku gets $1200

Kofi gets 3 × $1200 = $3600
