Answer:

Share of Alex = £130

Share of Ben = £390

Percentage Ben received [tex]=75\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the share of Alex = 1*x = £x

  • & the share of Ben = 3*x = £3x

  • Total amount = £520

  • -> x + 3x = 520

  • -> 4x = 520

  • -> x = 520/4

  • -> x = 130

  • -> Share of Alex = 1*130 = £130

  • -> Share of Ben = 3*130= £390

  • Percentage Ben received[tex]=\frac{390}{520}\times 100[/tex]

  • Percentage Ben received [tex]=\bold{75\%}[/tex]
