Question

Ruben buys a van for £9000. Ruben pays a deposit for the van and pays the rest of the cost in 4 equal payments of £2025. Work out the ratio of deposit paid to the total cost of the van. Give your answer in its simplest form

Answer 1

1/10

Explanation:

The total of the 4 payments is:

4 × £2025 = £8100

The deposit is:

£9000 - £8100 = £900

Ratio of deposit to total cost:

£900/£9000 = 1/10
