Okay, I'm in sixth grade and don't understand ratios. Any help? I have the question of:

Question

First and second place in a contest use ratio to share a cash prize. When first place pays $100, second place pays 60. How much does first place pay when second place pays 36 dollars?

Answer 1

2nd place on top of ratio

1st place on bottom of ratio

60/100 = 36/x

60 x = 36 * 100

x = 36*100/60

= 3600 / 60

= 60

60/100 = 6/10 = 3/5 = 36/60
