Question

Mila and Nadia have R480 between them.

Mila has 7 times as much as Nadia.
How much does each of them have?​

Answer 1

Mila= 420 Nadia= 60

Explanation:

Let's call Mila 7x. And x to Nadia. The two of them had a total of 480s.

Then we say 7x + x. Their total is 8x. So 480 = 8x. We divide both sides by 8. Here x = 60. Since Mila is 7x, we find Mila as 7.60 = 420, and since Nadia as x, we find Nadia as 1.60 = 60.
