Question

Divide $150 into the ratio 2:5:3

Answer 1

$30, $75, $45

Explanation:

We can set up an equation, where x is an unknown value:

2x+5x+3x=150

10x = 150

x=15

Now that we know what x is, we can plug x in to solve for 2x, 5x, and 3x:

2x=2*15=30

5x=5*15=75

3x=3*15=45

Therefore, the answer is $30, $75, $45
