Question

Bridget and Caroline win some money and share it in the ratio 7:3. Bridget gets £40 more than Caroline. How much did they get all together?

Answer 1

£100

Explanation:

if the ratio is 7:3, the difference between them is 7-3 . = 4.

So,

4x = £40

Now, calculate x

x = £10

Now,

we are able to calculate:

7x (Bridget's share) = £70

3x (Caroline's share) = £30

Sum = £100

Hope this helps.

Good Luck
