Question

A sum of money is shared between 2 friends in the ratio 2 : 3. If the larger

share is $450. What is the total sum shared?

​

Answer 1

$750

Explanation:

Larger share = $450

Smaller share : Larger share :: 2 : 3

Smaller share = (larger share x 2) / 3

= (450x2)/3

= 300

Sum= larger share + smaller share

= $450 + $300 = $750
