Question

Sara, Mark and Caroline share £102 in a ratio 1:3:2. How much money does each person get?

Answer 1

Sara:17

Mark:51

Caroline:34

Explanation:

Sara:Mark: Caroline: total

1 : 3 : 2 : 1+3+2 = 6

We want 102 for a total

102/6 =17

Multiply each term by 17

Sara:Mark: Caroline: total

1*17 : 3*17 : 2*17 : 6*17

17 : 51: 34 :102
