Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of Sharif to Jose = 2:7
Total ratio = 2+7 = 9
Let Sharif get x
Jose then have x + 25
Total amount shared = x + x + 25
= 2x + 25
Amount sharif got =
2/9 of (2x + 25) = x
2/9 × (2x + 25) = x
Cross multiply
2(2x + 25) = 9x
4x + 50 = 9x
50 = 9x - 4x
50 = 5x
x = 50/5
x = 10
Sharif for £10
