Question

Divide £2.28 btw eve and amelie in the ratio 9:5 give your answer to the nearest penny Eve gets ? And amelie gets ?

Answer 1

Eve gets 1.47 and Amelie gets 0.81

Explanation:

the ratio is 9 to 5 so we can say 9x + 5x=2.28

14x=2.28

x=0.16

so eve gets 9x = 9(2.28/14) = 1.47

and amelie gets 5x = 5(2.28/14) = 0.81
