Question

A sum of money was divided between three people in the ratio of 5:4:3. If the person with the most money has €91.26 more than the person with the least how much was the original sum of money and how much did each person get?

Answer 1

Using logic.

The person with the most money (the 5) gets two portions more than the person with the least (the 3)

So 91.26 is two portions.

One portion is 45.63

How much does each person get?
