Respuesta :

Using proportions, considering the ratios, it is found that Danil receives 65.33 euros.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

Danil, gabriel and hadley share some money in the ratios 3:5:9. Hence, the fraction of the total amount that Danil and Hadley receive are given by:

[tex]D = \frac{3}{17}n[/tex]

[tex]H = \frac{9}{17}n[/tex]

The amount of money that hadley receives is 196 euros, hence the total amount is found as follows.

[tex]196 = \frac{9}{17}n[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{196 \times 17}{9}[/tex]

n = 370.22.

Hence, the amount received by Danil is given by:

[tex]D = \frac{3}{17}n = \frac{3}{17} \times 370.22 = 65.33[/tex]
