Sara, Mark and Caroline share £102 in a ratio 1:3:2. How much money does each person get?

Sara - 17

Mark - 51

Caroline - 34

Step-by-step explanation:

1) start by adding the ratios together, so 1+3+2 = 6. Due to the order of the ratio, Sara, gets 1 art of the money, Mark gets 3 parts and Caroline get 2 parts.

2) take the total amount of money (102) and divide it by (1+3+2). 102/6 is 17.

3) divide the money by the amount each person gets. Sara only has one part, so she has £17, Mark gets 3 parts so he gets £51, and Caroline gets 2 parts, so she ends up with £34.

4) do 17+34+51 to check it equals 102. (it does; D)
