Answer:
$32
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways of determining the answer
1. the fast method
the sum of Angad and Nick's ratio is 3 + 1 = 4
this is equal to the ratio of Gavin's earnings. It is also 4
So if Angad and Nick receive £32, Gavin would also receive $32 since the ratios are equal.
2. Longer method
Let the total amount received by the 3 of them = a
Sum of ratios = 3 + 4 + 1 = 8
the equation representing the amount received by Angad and Nick is
(4/8) x a = $32
Divide both sides by 8/4 and find a
a = $64
the total amount received is $64
amount received by Gavin =
(4/8) x 64 = $32
