Question

Gordon, Caroline & Malachy share some money in the ratio

3:34.
In total, Gordon and Malachy receive £77.
How much does Caroline get? -​

Answer 1

£33

Explanation:

The share ratio is 3 :3:4

So the rational division is 3 + 3 + 4 = 10

Gordon and Malachy share is £77,

`calculting \: total \: amt \: shared \\ (3)/(10) + (4)/(10) = 77 \\ (3 + 4)/(10) = 77 \\ (7)/(10) = 77 \\ total \: amt \: = (77 * 10)/(7) = 110`

Carol's share =

`(3)/(10) * 110 = 33`

=£33
