Tom, Jerry and pet put a capital to a canteen business at a ratio of 2:5:8 respectively. If the total capital amounts to a 2,250,000. How much did each spend ? in ratio

Answer:

300,000 : 750,000 : 1,200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Express 2:5:8 as 2x:5x:8x  

Tom: 2x

Jerry: 5x

Pet: 8x

2x+5x+8x = 15x

-----

15x=2,250,000

Divide both sides by 15 to eliminate 15 from 15x.

\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{2,250,000}{15}

x=150,000

-----

Tom: 2x = 2 × 150,000 = 300,000

Jerry: 5x = 5 × 150,000 = 750,000

Pet: 8x = 8 × 150,000 = 1,200,000
