Answer:
Dan get £14, Richard get £42, Nick get £14
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Dan, Richard and Nick share £70 in a ratio 1:3:1.
To find : How much money does each person get?
Solution :
Let the ratio be 'x'
The ratio is 1 : 3 : 1
So, Dan has £x
Richard has £3x
Nick has £x
Total share is £70
i.e. [tex]x+3x+x=70[/tex]
[tex]5x=70[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{70}{5}[/tex]
[tex]x=14[/tex]
So, Dan get £14
Richard get [tex]3x=3(14)=42[/tex]
Nick get £14
