    I'm not entirely sure if this is the right way of doing it)

    So you add the two numbers in the ratio (5 and 7) which makes 12 and you divide £60 by that number

    60 divided by 12 is 5 so you times that by 5 to get Mary's value (£25) and by 7 to get Bob's (£35)

    You can check this by adding the 2 numbers and if it adds up to £60, you're probably right

    Total ratio: 5+7=12

    £60:12 = £5

    Mary: 5 * £5 = £25

    Bob: 7 * £5 = £ 35
