Delia, Edwin and Freya share some money in the ratio 5 : 7 : 8. Freya’s share is £1600. How much money did they share?

To find how much money they shared first find the total parts

Which is

5 + 7 + 8 = 20

Deila's share is

5 /20 × £1600

= 1/4 × £1600 = £ 400

Edwin's share is

7/ 20 ×£1600 = £560

Freya's share is

8/20 × £1600

= 2/5 × £1600 = £640

Hope this helps you

£ 40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Freya receives 8 parts of the total amount

8 parts = £1600

this means, we can calculate 1 part:

8 parts  = £1600

1 part =£1600/8 = £ 2000

Now, we are able to calculate the total share :

Total number of parts = 8 + 5 + 7 = 20

1 share = £2000

So, 20 shares = £40000

hope this helps,

Good Luck
