Ratio of 8:9 if someone received $3,060

Question

Jackson gave a sum of money to his daugather in the ratio 8 : 9. His daughter received $3,060. How much did Jackson gave to his daughte?

Answer 1

It appears you may be saying that for however much

money Jackson received he kept 8/17 of it and gave

9/17 of it to his daughter.  If the daughter receives

$3,060 then how much did Jackson keep?

 

Jackson:Daughter = 8:9

 

8:9 = x:3060

 

3060 = 9(340)

8(340) = 2720

 

Jackson kept $2,720

 

 

Answer 2

There is nothing to answer here because the answer is given. Jason gave his daughter $3,060. I think there is a problem with a verbatim of this problem. A ratio compares some quantity to another quantity, so in this particular sentence, the definition of ratio does not make sense.

Answer 3

8/17 of 3060 = 1440

9/17 of 3060 = 1620

 

Maybe this is what you're looking for. Your question is a little confusing.
