Answer:

Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya

Explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio , 4 + 1 = 5 parts

divide the amount being shared by 5 to find the value of 1 part of the ratio

£150 ÷ 5 = £30 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

4 parts = 4 × £30 = £120 ← amount Ivan receives

£120 - £30 = £90

Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya
