PLEASE HELP ASAP

10. Mike and Pete together have $84.00. If Mike has $24.00,
what is the ratio of Pete's amount to Mike's amount?

Answer 1

2.5

Explanation:

Let M and P stand for the money that Mike(M) and Pete(P) have.

We discover that M + P = $84.00

We also find that M = $24.00

This means that :

M + P = $84.00

$24.00 + P = $84.00

P = $60.00

The ratio of P to M is ($60.00/$24.00) or 2.5 (P/M - 2.5)
