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
