Given: £90 is divided among Aahil, James and Merav in the ratio 1:3:5.
To find: How much Merav gets.
Answer:
Let's assume the shares of each to be 'x'.
This implies that 1x + 3x + 5x = 90.
9x = 90
x = 90/9
x = 10
Substituting this value of x in the ratio,
- 1 × 10 = 10 [Aahil's share]
- 3 × 10 = 30 [James' share]
- 5 × 10 = 50 [Merav's share]
Therefore, Merav gets £50.
Hope it helps. :)
