Question

Albert and John are partners in a Bakery store. They needed $70,000 to start the business. They

invested in the ratio 3:7, respectively. How much did Albert invest in the business? How much did John invest in the business?

Answer 1

Albert invested 21,000 and John invested 49,000 :)

Answer 2

• A: $21,000
• J: $49,000

Explanation:

The number of "ratio units" in their investment ratio is 3+7 = 10. Albert's investment was 3/10 of the total, so was $21,000. John invested the remaining amount, $49,000.

Albert invested $21,000; John invested $49,000.
