Lucy, Mary and Nora's father leaves them an inheritance in the ratio 5: 3:2. Mary gets £4500, How much was there in total?

£15000

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucy, Mary and Nora's father leaves them an inheritance in the

ratio 5: 3:2. Mary gets £4500, How much was there in total?

Giving the ratio of inheritance 5:3:2

5+3+2 = 10

Mary's ratio = 3

Marys share = £4500

Total share x can be gotten as thus

3/10 × x = 4500

3x/10 = 4500

3x = 45000

x = 45000/3

x = 15000

Hence £15000 was there in total
