Question

two sons shared ₦14,000 in the ratio of 4 ratio 3 what are their respective shares
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The respective shares are ₦8000 and ₦6000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount shared = ₦14,000

Ratio of share = 4 : 3

Let,

x be the times of money each will get.

4x + 3x = 14000

7x = 14000

$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{14000}{7}\\x=2000$

Share of first son = 4(2000) = ₦8000

Share of second son = 3(2000) = ₦6000

Therefore,

The respective shares are ₦8000 and ₦6000.
