Given:
Jonny and Faheem share some money in the ratio 3:5.
Faheem gets £12 more than Jonny.
To find:
The amount that Jonny gets.
Solution:
Jonny and Faheem share some money in the ratio 3:5.
Let Jonny and Faheem get 3x and 5x.
Different between their amounts is
[tex]5x-3x=2x[/tex]
Faheem gets £12 more than Jonny. It means the difference between their amounts is equal to £12.
[tex]2x=12[/tex]
[tex]x=\dfrac{12}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=6[/tex]
The amount that Jonny gets is
[tex]3x=3(6)[/tex]
[tex]3x=18[/tex]
Therefore, Jonny gets £18.
