Answer:
Amount of money David received = £ 175
Step-by-step explanation:
Both of them share their profit in a ratio of 5:7 . Tina got £70 more than David. Let
the amount David received = a
amount Tina received = 70 + a
the total profit = 70 + 2a
Amount David received = 5/12 × 70 + 2a = a
Therefore,
5/12 × 70 + 2a = a
350 + 10a/12 = a
cross multiply
350 + 10a = 12a
collect like terms
350 = 12a - 10a
350 = 2a
divide both sides by 2
a = 350/2
a = 175
Amount of money David received = £ 175
