Question

6) Jack shares £180 between his two children Ruth and Ben. The ratio of ruths share to Bens share is 5:4 a) Work out how much each child is given? Ben then gives 10% of his share to ruth. b) Work out the percentage of the £180 that ruth has now

? · Accepted Answer

5 + 4 = 9
Ruth's share = 5/9 x 180
= 900/9
Ruth's share = £100

Ben's share = 4/9 x 180
= 720/9
= £80

= 10% x Ben's share
= 1/10 x 80
= 80/10
= £8

Ruth's total share = 100 + 8
= £108
% = 108/180 x 100
% = 10800/180
= 60%

So Ruth's share = 60% of total share

Hope this helps
Bye !!

in case you may desire to no longer get the 1st 3, it somewhat is a huge leap to something of them. the 1st 3 are somewhat elementary they very almost are not even algebra. a(b+c) =ab+ac. that is proper to the only "step" you may desire to renowned to unravel those issues. the subsequent 3 are quadratic equations. they are no longer horribly perplexing, yet they're plenty extra stable than the 1st 3. in case you already know what the quadratic formula is, you may plug them into that. in case you're able to try this, the linear thingy could desire to be a breeze. Why do no longer you attempt googling WolframAlpha? that is unfastened. it may resolve all your issues and instruct you the stairs. i could desire to furnish you with each and every of the solutions, yet i've got not got time to instruct you each and every of the stairs.
