June gets £ 8 and Brian gets £ 16 and Natasha gets £ 16
Solution:
Given that,
June, Brian and Natasha share £40 in a ratio 1 : 2 : 2
Let the share of June be 1x
Let the share of Brian be 2x
Let the share of Natasha be 2x
Total amount = 40
Therefore, we can say,
share of June + share of Brian + share of Natasha = 40
[tex]1x+2x+2x = 40\\\\5x = 40\\\\x=8[/tex]
Thus we get,
Share of June = 1x = 8
Share of Brian = 2x = 2(8) = 16
Share of Natasha = 2x = 2(8) = 16
Thus June gets £ 8 and Brian gets £ 16 and Natasha gets £ 16
