Answer:

Given statement: Ivan and Tanya share £150 in the ratio 4:1

let the number be x.

Then, the share of Ivan be 4x and the share of Tanya be x.

From the given scenario,

the equation that would best represent the given will be;


4x+x =\£150

Combine like terms;


5x =\£150

Divide both sides by 5 we get;


(5x)/(5)=(\£150)/(5)

Simplify:

x =£30

Then,

the share of Ivan is, 4x =
4 \cdot 30 =\£120

and the share of Tanya is, x =£30

Therefore, £90 more Ivan gets compared to Tanya.
