Question

Natasha, Gordon & Richard share some money in the ratio 3 : 9 : 1. In total, Natasha and Richard receive £44. How much does Gordon get?

Answer 1

$99

Explanation:

First I broke down the amount that Natasha and Richard had

Their share/ratio was 3 and 1, making a sum of 4

44 divided by 4 is 11, so that means 11 is the amount Richard has, or equivalent to 1

To find Gordon, we multiply 11 by 9 since he has 9 times as much as Richard has

11x9 equals 99
