Question

Wes and Tom are buying rare coins for $9,500 and investing money in the ratio of 3 to 2. How much will each man invest?

Answer 1

Answer:

one spent $3,800 and the other spent $5,700

Step-by-step explanation:

first add the 3 and 2 so you get 5 then divide 9,500 into 5 which is 1900 then multiply that by 2  which is 3800 now we know one man spent $3800 then we do the same thing with 3 so we take 1900 and multiply it by three which is $5700

your answer is that one man spent $3,800 and the other spent $5,700
