Explanation:

Given :-

  • Ali and mo share a sum of money in the ratio ali : mo = 9 : 7 .
  • Ali receives 600 more than mo .

And we need to find out how much each receives .Let us take that

  • Mo received x .
  • Ali will get x + 600.

According to the Question :-


\implies (9)/(7)=(x+600)/(x)\\\\\implies 9x = 7x + 4200 \\\\\implies 2x = 4200 \\\\\implies x = 2100

Therefore :-

  • Ali = x+600 = 2700
  • Mo = x = 2100
