Respuesta :
we can answer this by using ratios.
andy = A
ben = B
claire = C
ben gets tree times as much as andy
A : B : C
1 : 3 : C
claire gets twice as much as ben
1 : 3 : 6
1 + 3 + 6 = 10
there are 10 parts altogether.
54/10 = 5.4 (£5.40)
1 part = £5.40
claire has 6 parts. £5.40*6 = £32.40
claire gets £32.40
Answer:
£32.40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Andy's amount be x then
Ben's amount = 3x ( 3 times as much as Andy ) and
Claire's amount = 2 × 3x = 6x ( twice as much as Ben ), hence
x + 3x + 6x = 54
10x = 54 ( divide both sides by 10)
x = 5.4
Claire gets 6x = 6 × 5.4 = £32.40
