Answer:
She received £89.4
and she saved £67.05
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is as follows;
Madeeha’s father won £149.
He shared the £149 between his three children in the ratio 6:3:1. Madeeha was given the biggest share.
(a) Work out how much money Madeeha received.
(b) Madeeha saved 3/4 of her share.
Work out how much Madeeha saved.
Answer;
The total ratio is 6 + 3 + 1 = 10
Since madeeha was given the biggest share, that means she is given 6 out of 10 portions
So the amount she was given would be ;
6/10 * 149 = £89.4
Now we were told she saved 3/4
Amount saved would be 3/4 * 89.4 = £67.05
