Question

12. Eloise, Lucinda and Jennifer are given £150 by their aunt. They are told to share it in a 5:3:2 ratio. How much money will Lucinda receive?​

Answer 1

£45

Explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio , 5 + 3 + 2 = 10 parts

divide the amount by 10 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

£150 ÷ 10 = £15 , then

3 parts = 3 × £15 = £45 ← amount Lucinda receives
