Answer:
$14
Explanation:
given
Sharif : Jose ---> 2:7
this means that:
Fraction of total that Sharif gets = 2 / (2+7) = 2/9
Fraction of total that Jose gets = 7 / (2+7) = 7/9
we are given that Jose gets $49, hence
jose's fraction = 7/9 , represents $49
i.e
7/9 -----> $49
1/9 -----> $49 ÷ 7 = $7
Sharif's fraction = 2/9 -----> $7 x 2 = $14
