Question

Jay, Sheila and Harry share £7200 in the ratio 1 : 2 : 5. How much does Harry receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

Harry receives £4500

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the ratio = 8

Total amount - 7200

$Jay's\ share = \frac{1}{8} \times 7200 = 900\\\\Sheila's \ share = \frac{2}{8} \times 7200 = 2 \times 900 = 1800\\\\Harry 's \ share = \frac{5}{8} \times 7200 = 5 \times 900 = 4500$
