Question

11.

Charlene and Danielle share some money in ratio 2:3

Danielle gets £25 more than Charlene.

How much does each girl receive?

Answer 1

Charlene got £50

Danielle got £75

Explanation:

Let Charlene get x

this means that Danielle will get x + 25

The ratio is thus;

x/x + 25 = 2/3

3x = 2(x + 25)

3x = 2x + 50

3x-2x = 50

x = £50

Charlene got this

The amount Danielle got will be

50 + 25 = £75
