Answer 1

Cheryl received £25 last week.

Amount received by Cheryl = x

Using proportion;

Ratio of Cheryl and Sean's tips :: Ratio of amount received

$5:2::x:10$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$2*x=5*10\\2x=50$

Dividing both sides by 2;

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{50}{2}\\x= \£25$

Cheryl received £25 last week.
