Question

Crsytal and meghan shared a sum of money 8:3 , Crystal received $135 more than Meghan. How much money was shared ?​

Answer 1

$2,295

Explanation:

Meghan = x

Crystal = x + 135

`(8)/(3) = (x)/(x + 135)`

`8 * (x + 135) = 3x`

`8x + 1.080 = 3x`

`1.080 = x`

Meghan got $1,080

`1.080 + 135 = 1.215`

Crystal got $1,215

`1.080 + 1.215 = 2.295`

$2,295 money was shared.
