Question

ojo and bola shared 4,500 in the ratio 3:2,how.much did bola receive

Answer 1

Given that oja and bola shared 4500 in the ratio 3:2.

We have to find the amount received by bola.

Let oja received 3x and bola received 2x. So,

$\begin{gathered} 3x+2x=4500 \\ 5x=4500 \\ x=\frac{4500}{5} \\ x=900 \end{gathered}$

Now, bola received 2x. So,

$2(900)=1800$

Thus, bola received 1800.
