Question

A sum of money is shared between two people in the ratio 19:14. If the first person receives 38 LE, how much money does the other receive?

Answer 1

28 LE.

Explanation:

Ratio Question:

The ratio of the money spent is 19/14. So you can create this equation:

19/14=38/x

Since they are the same ratio, this means that 38/x would equal 19/14.

Multiply both sides by 14 and x:

19x=532

532/19=x

x=28
