Two business partners,Ellen and Bob, invested money in their business at a ratio of 6 to 7 . Bob invested the greater amount . The total amount invested was $260 . How much did each partner invest?

Respuesta :

This ratio is 6:7 which is a total of 13 parts so 260/13 is 20 so each part is 20 which makes this into the ration 120: 140 meaning bob invested 140 and ellen invested 120

6x = 6(20) = 120

7x = 7(20 = 140

Ellen invested 120. Bob invested 140
