Question

John, Jean and Jan share £120 in the ratio 2:5:3
How much do John, Jean and Jan get?

Answer 1

Explanation:

2 parts + 5 parts + 3 parts equals 10 parts

£120 divided by 10 equals 12

this means each parte is worth £12

2 parts times £12 is £24

5 parts times £12 is £60

3 parts times £12 is £36

So ....

John gets £24

Jean gets £60

Jan gets £36
