Mark, June & Henry share some money in the ratio 1 : 9 : 4. In total, Mark and Henry receive £25.
How much does June get?

June gets £45

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add all the numbers in the ratio, you would get 14. If we thibk of this like "parts", it can make the problem easier. Since Mark and Henry's portion is 5 parts of all, we can make the equation:

5x=25

Where 5x stands for the parts, and 25 to how much it's worth. Using this we get:

x=5

Now we can multiply this value to Jube's portion, which looks like this:

9(5)=June's Portion

So we come up with the

45

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
