Question

$100 are shared between Adam and Hamza in the ratio 1:3.

A)
How many dollars did Adam receive?
How many dollars did Hamza receive?

Answer 1

$25 for Adam and $75 for Hamza

Explanation:

$100 will be divided to 3 + 1 = 4 parts

the dollars Adam received

= $100 × 1/4

= $25

the dollars Hamza received

= $100 × 3/4

= $75

-----------------------------------------------------------

the dollars Hamza give to Adam

= $75 × 25%

= $75 × 25/100

= $18.75

the dollars Adam have

= $25 + $18.75

= $43.75

the dollars Hamza have

= $75 - $18.75

= $56.25

the ratio

= 43.75：56.25

= 7：9
