Question

A sum of money is shared among Ben, Jack, and Sarah in the ratio 6 : 8 : 10.

If Sarah receives $50, how much does Ben receive?

Answer 1

Ben = 30

Explanation:

Ben = 6 Jack = 8 Sarah = 10 10= 50 = 10(5)= Sarah if we (5) for Jack and Ben we an total to find 50+ 8(5) + 6(5) = 50 + 40 + 30= 120 total and Ben = 30

Answer 2

B:J:S

6:8:10

6+8+10= 24 parts all together

Sarah has $50 and equals 10 parts. So, each part is worth $5. (50/10=5)

Thus, Ben receives 6 parts, with each part being $5. So, Ben gets $30. (6x5=30)
