Caroline, Colin & Sarah share some money in the ratio 1 : 9 : 1. In total, Caroline and Sarah receive £28.
How much does Colin get?

Colin got £126

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to know how much Colin got from the sharing.

We can collapse the ratio to mean;

Colin : Caroline + Sarah

= 9:1 + 1 = 9:2

So total ratio is 9 + 2 = 11

If Caroline and Sarah got £28 we need to find the total money shared

Let the total money shared be £x

Thus;

2/11 * x = 28

2x = 11 * 28

x = (11 * 28)/2

x = 11 * 14 = £154

So the amount of money Colin got would be;

£154 - £28 = £126

they are simplified

step-by-step explanation:

im guessing (23,14). hope this : )
