Question

Janie receives R150 pocket money per month. In the new year his mother increase his pocket money in the ratio 6:5. Calculate Janies adjusted monthly pocket money?​

Answer 1

Janies' monthly pocket money is $180.

Explanation:

Janies' adjusted monthly pocket money:

Initial pocket money = $150

Ratio of new pocket money = 6:5

Let his new pocket money be represented by x,

x:$150 = 6:5

$150 x 6 = x (5)

$900 = 5x

x =
`(900)/(5)`

x = $180

Therefore, Janies' monthly pocket money is $180.
