THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW
Three friends, Cleopatra, Dalila, and ebony fo shopping. The money they have each is in the ratio
Cleopatra : Dalila : Ebony =
5 : 7 : 8
Cleopatra has $15.
A) How many dollars do they have in total?
B) Dalila spends 12$ on a hat, how many dollars does she have left?
A)
Total ratio=(5 +7 +8)= 20
Cleopatra has $15.
Let X = total money
Ratio of Cleopatra= 5/20 ×X=15
5X /20 = 15
5X= (15×20)
X= $60
They have $60 in total
B) ratio of Dalila= 7/20 × 60 = $21
But 12$ was spent by Dalila on a hat
Then Dalila will have ($21 - 12$) Left
= $9
