Pat and julie share some money in the ratio 2:5 julie gets £45 more than pat how much money did pat get
Let's assume that Pat gets x amount of money.
According to the given ratio, Julie gets 5x/2 amount of money.
It is given that Julie gets £45 more than Pat.
So, 5x/2 - x = £45
Simplifying the equation, 3x/2 = £45
Multiplying both sides by 2/3:
x = £30
Therefore, Pat gets £30 of money.
To find out how much money Pat got, we need to determine the total amount of money shared between Pat and Julie. We can do this by finding a common multiple of the numbers in the ratio, 2 and 5. In this case, the common multiple is 10.
Next, we divide the total amount of money by the sum of the parts of the ratio (2 + 5 = 7). Let's call the total amount of money "x".
So, x/7 represents the value of one part of the ratio. Since Julie gets £45 more than Pat, we can represent Pat's share as (x/7 - £45).
Since Pat and Julie share money in a ratio of 2:5, Pat's share is (2/7) * x, and Julie's share is (5/7) * x.
Setting up the equation, we have:
(2/7) * x = (x/7 - £45)
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 7, we get:
2x = x - £315
Subtracting "x" from both sides, we get:
2x - x = -£315
Simplifying further, we have:
x = -£315
Since money cannot be negative, it seems there is an error in the information provided. Please double-check the values given for the ratio and the additional amount received by Julie.
To find out how much money Pat received, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Set up the ratio. The ratio of Pat's share to Julie's share is 2:5.
Step 2: Determine the difference in the share values. In this case, we know that Julie received £45 more than Pat.
Step 3: Divide the additional amount between the two parts of the ratio. Since the ratio is 2:5, we need to divide the additional £45 in the same ratio. We divide £45 by the total parts of the ratio (2 + 5 = 7). Each part is worth £45/7.
Step 4: Multiply the part value by the number of parts that represent Pat's share. In this case, Pat's share is represented by 2 parts. Therefore, Pat received £45/7 x 2 = £90/7.
Hence, Pat received £90/7.
