Answer 1

Answer:

The sum of the money shared is $1372

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio is

Albert:Michael:Moses=3:5:6

The total ratio is 3+5+6=14

Let the sum of money shared be $x.

Then Albert's share = 3/14 x $x$ = 3$x$/ 14

Michal's Share   = 5x/14

If Michael received $196 more than Albert, then the difference between their share is the $196.
