Answer:
Divide £700 in the ratio 5:3:2.
The total number of 'parts' in this ratio
= 5 + 3 + 2 = 10.
So, to work out how much of the total corresponds to 1 part, we need to divide the total sum by the total number of parts: 700/10 = £70.
Now, we can multiply the amount we know for 1 part by each value in the ratio.
Step-by-step explanation:
70 × 5 = £ 350
70 × 3 = £ 210
70 × 2 = £ 140
