Dan and Paul share some money in the ratio 9:5.
Dan decides this is unfair so he gives Paul £32 of his share to make the ratio 1:1
How much did Paul originally have?

Respuesta :

Answer:

40 (?)

Step-by-step explanation

Dan gives Paul 32 pounds and makes the ratio equal

so ratio was 5:5

so 9-x=5

x=4

ratio 4 = 32

ratio 1 = 8, because 32 divide by 4 = 8

Originally his ratio was 5

so 5 x 8 = 40
