Question

Leo, Kush and Mai share some money in the ratio 3:5:8
Kush receives £750 more than Leo.
Calculate total amount of money that they shared.

Answer 1

Let the amount Leo received be £x Kush received be £(x+750)
The ratio in which they received cash is 3:5:8
the difference in ration between Kush and Leo=£(5-3)=£2
Total ratio is: 16
thus the total amount was:
16/2×750
=£6000
