Caroline, Colin & Sarah share some money in the ratio 1 : 9 : 1. In total, Caroline and Sarah receive £28.
How much does Colin get?

Colin got £126

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to know how much Colin got from the sharing.

We can collapse the ratio to mean;

Colin : Caroline + Sarah

= 9:1 + 1 = 9:2

So total ratio is 9 + 2 = 11

If Caroline and Sarah got £28 we need to find the total money shared

Let the total money shared be £x

Thus;

2/11 * x = 28

2x = 11 * 28

x = (11 * 28)/2

x = 11 * 14 = £154

So the amount of money Colin got would be;

£154 - £28 = £126

he sells x mount because thats eqivilqant to the maz and then divided into quarters

step-by-step explanation:

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)
