The ratio od edwin weekly expenditure to frankie weekly expenditure 12:5. If frankie spends $95 every week, how much more does edwin spend than frankie?
To find how much more Edwin spends than Frankie, we need to determine Edwin's weekly expenditure.
Since the ratio of Edwin's expenditure to Frankie's expenditure is 12:5, 12 represents Edwin's portion and 5 represents Frankie's.
To find Edwin's expenditure, we can set up a proportion:
12 (Edwin's expenditure) / 5 (Frankie's expenditure) = Edwin's expenditure / $95
Cross-multiplying gives us:
12 * $95 = 5 * Edwin's expenditure
1140 = 5 * Edwin's expenditure
Dividing both sides by 5 gives us:
Edwin's expenditure = 1140 / 5
Edwin's expenditure = $<<1140/5=228>>228
To find the difference in their expenditures, we subtract Frankie's expenditure from Edwin's expenditure:
Edwin's expenditure - Frankie's expenditure = $228 - $95
The difference is $133.
Therefore, Edwin spends $133 more than Frankie every week.
