Question

Kristian and Stephanie share some money in the ratio 3 : 2. Kristian receives $72. How much Stephanie receives?

Answer 1

Stephanie has `$48`.

Explanation:

`"Kristian"/"Stephanie" =3/2`

so the equation is

`3/2 = ($72)/x`

Here `x` is the amount received by Stephanie when Kristian receives `$72`. So

`3x= $72 xx 2`

Stephanie will receive

`x = ($144)/3 = $48`
