Theresa Torres · Answer 1

add the ratio together: 2:5 = 2+5 = 7

Divide the total money made by 7:

21,000 / 7 = 3,000

The ratio 2:5 between the arena and Phillip Cage, means the arena made 2 for every 5 Phillip Cage gets.

Multiply the 3,000 from above by 2 to get the amount the arena gets:

Arena made: 3000 x 2 = £6,000
