Question

Ivan and Tanya share £150 in the ratio 4:1
Work out how much more Ivan gets compared to Tanya.

Answer 1

Given: Ivan and Tanya share £150 with a 4:1 ratio.

Let x represent the variable amount of money.

Ivan: 4x
Tanya: x

4x + x = £150
5x = 150
x = 30

Ivan = 4(30) = £120
Tanya = £30

£120 - £30 = £90

Therefore Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya, which is four times more than Tanya.
