Colin, Natasha and Angad share £48 in a ratio 2:3:3. How much money does each person get?
Colin: £ |
Natasha: £
Angad: £

Answer 1

Let me take 2,3,3 be 2x, 3x, 3x

Colin = 2x

Natasha = 3x

Angad = 3x

The equation forms to find out the value of x

2x + 3x + 3x = 48

=> 8x = 48

=> x = 48/8

=> x = 6

So share of Colin = 2x = £(2×6) = £12

Share of Natasha = 3x = £(3×6) = £18

share of Angad = 3x = £(3×6) = £18

For proof

£12 + £18 + £18 = £48

Hope it helps
