Tom, Mary and Bill are aged 10,12 and 15 years respectively. They share 259 euros in the same ratio as their ages. Find how much one receives.

Respuesta :

Answer:

70 , 84 , 105

Step-by-step explanation:

sum their ages , 10 + 12 + 15 = 37

divide the amount by this sum to find the value of one part of the ratio.

259 ÷ 37 = 7 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

10 parts = 10 × 7 = 70 euros ← Tom's share

12 parts = 12 × 7 = 84 euros ← Mary's share

15 parts = 15 × 7 = 105 euros ← Bill's share
