Question

Jim, Pip & Krutika share some money in the ratio 1:10:2.

In total, Jim and Krutika receive £36.

How much does Pip get?

Answer 1

£120

Explanation:

Let the amount of money shared =x

The ratio at which the money was shared is: Jim:Pip: Krutika=1:10:2

Total Ratio =1+10+2=13

Sum of Jim and Krutika's ratio = 1+2=3

If Jim and Krutika receive £36 in total, then:

`(3)/(13)* x =36\\ 3x=36 * 13\\x=(36 * 13) / 3\\x=\£156`

The total sum of money shared is £156.

Since Pip gets 10/13 of the money:

Pip's share
`= (10)/(13)* 156 =\£120`

Pip gets £120.
