Werner · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: total income=$500

Ratio of partition of money6:3:4

(Which gives that lauren gets 6x, rachel gets 3x and Becca gets 4x)

6x+3x+4x=500

13x=$500

X=500/13 (transposition method)

x = 38.46

So lauren gets 6 (38.46) ... rachel gets 3 (38.46) while Becca gets 4 (38.46) ...

Lauren = 230.76

Rachel=115.38

Becca = 153.84
