Question

ivan and tanya share £150 in the ratio 4:1 work out how much more ivan gets compared to tanya

Answer 1

Ivan gets 50 dollars more than Tanya.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Ivan and Tanya's shares is $4:1$

Suppose, Ivan's share $=4x$ and Tanya's share $=1x$

The total amount of money is £150. So, the equation will be.....

$4x+1x= 150\\ \\ 5x=150\\ \\ x=\frac{150}{5}=30$

So, Ivan's share $=4(30)=120$ and Tanya's share $=1(30)=30$

Now, $120-30= 90$

Thus, Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya.
