Question

(WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST) Mrs jackson gave a sum of money to her son and daughter in the ratio 8:9 if her daughter recieved $3060. How much did mrs jackson give to her two children in all

Answer 1

Answer:

5780

Let’s say her daughter is the 9 of the ratio. To find one part, you must divide 3060 by nine which gives you 340. That is one part. You can then multiply that by 8 to find the amount of money her son gets, which is 2720. Then you just add 3060+2720 which gives you 5780.
