Question

Benny, Jenny and Lenny win some £750 in a competition. The prize is shared in the ratio 2:3:5. How much did Jenny win?

Answer 1

Explanation:

2+3+5=10

2/10 x750=£150 for Benny

3/10 x750=£225 for Jenny

5/10 x750=£375 for Lenny

Answer 2

£225

Let the ratios be 2x,3x and 5x

2x+3x+5x=750

or,10x=750

or,X=750/10

X=£ 75

Replacing value,

3x

=3*75

=225

Hope it helps
