Question

Colin and Dan win some money and share it in the ratio 5:2. Colin gets £55. How much did Dan get?

Answer 1

Dan gets £15.7142857

Explanation:

Colin => 5

Dan => 2

5 + 2 (total of the two) = 7

55 divided by 7 = 7.85714286

7.85714286 times 2 = 15.7142857

So Dan gets £15.7142857

Answer 2

Dan would get £22, it’s 40% of 55
