Andy and Betsy share some money in the ratio 5: 6.
Betsy gets £96.00
Andy gives 1/4 of his share of the money to Carly.
Betsy gives 2/3 of her share of the money to Carly.
How much money does Carly receive?
Answer:
You must find Andy’s share by doing 96/5 then multiplied by 5 to get £80
Then find a quarter of Andy’s share by doing ¼ x 80 = 20
Then find 2/3 of Betsy’s share by doing 2/3 x 96 = 64
Add these two values together to get the amount of money Carly receives = £84.00.
