Question

Amal and Salma share some money in the

ratio 5:9
Salma gets $252 more than Amal.
How many does Amal get ?
O $315
O $140
O $90
$567

Answer 1

i think it’s $315 but correct me if wrong

Answer 2

$315, i cant give a thorough explanation since i did it all in my head but basically amal gets 5 portions of the money and Salma gets 9, meaning she gets 4 more, so if 4 portions is $252 then it cant be any of the others since they are too low or way too high, $315 is the only reasonable one.
