​

Answer 1

Answer:

Son of 15 years $180

Son of 10 years $120

Step-by-step explanation:

15 + 10 = 25

   25          300

   15              x = 300*15/25

                    x = 180

   25          300

   10              x = 300*10/25

                    x = 120

Son of 15 years $180

Son of 10 years $120
