Complete question :
Aaron, Mathew and Sara share some money. Aaron gets 30% of the money. Mathew gets 3/8 of the money. Sara gets the rest. If Mathew gets £24 , how much do Aaron and Sara get?
Answer:
Sara = £20.8
Aaron = £19.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of money = x
Mathew = (3/8) of x
Aaron = 30% of x = 0.3x
If (3/8)x = 24
3x / 8 = 24
3x = 192
x = £64
Aaron gets 30% = 0.3 * £64 = £19.2
Sara = £64 - (19.2 + 24)
Sara = £64 - £43.2
Sara = £20.8
