Question

A

"Taiwo and Kehinde are to share
Sum of money in the ratio 4.5.
If taiwo gets 4000.00
What does Kehinde get?

Answer 1

500,000

Explanation:

Total sum of money = x

Ratio = 4:5

= 4+5

= 9

Taiwo = 4/9 × x

400,000 = 4x/9

400,000 × 9 = 4x × 1

3,600,000 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

x = 3,600,000/4

x = 900,000

Kehinde = 900,000 - 400,000

= 500,000

Kehinde's money can also be calculated as

Kehinde = 5/9 × 900,000

= 5 × 100,000

= 500,000
