Question

Rick and tom share a reward of $75 in a ratio of 2:3. how much money does each of them get?

Answer 1

Rick gets $30 and Tom gets $45.

Explanation:

If Rick gets 2 parts, and Tom gets 3 parts, then there are 5 parts. If $75 is split into 5 parts, each part will be worth $15.

Hence,

Rick gets 2 * $15 = $30

Tom gets 3 * $15 = $45
