Question

Ojo and bola shared 4,500 in the ratio 3:2,how.much did bola receive

Answer 1

Given that oja and bola shared 4500 in the ratio 3:2.

We have to find the amount received by bola.

Let oja received 3x and bola received 2x. So,

`\begin{gathered} 3x+2x=4500 \\ 5x=4500 \\ x=(4500)/(5) \\ x=900 \end{gathered}`

Now, bola received 2x. So,

`2(900)=1800`

Thus, bola received 1800.
