(ratio question)
talia, jack and monika share £86. jack gets three times as much money as talia. monika gets twice as much money as jack. how much money does monika get?

Answer 1

51.6

Explanation:

Let x be the amount Talia has then:

Jack has 3x

And Monika has 6x

Now we form an equation:

Jack+Monika+Talia=86

3x+6x+x=86

10x=86

x=8.6

Now we multiply 6 by 8.6:

51.6
