Question

A mom shared $490 between her 2 daughters in the ratio of 4 : 3 respectively. Calculate how much money is the larger share?

Answer 1

Explanation:

let ratio be 4x and 3x

sum : 490$

4x+3x = 490

7x=490

x=490/7

Hence x = 70

first daughter gets = 4x =4 x 70 = 280

second daughter gets =3x = 3x 70 = 210

first daugter gets the larger share
