Question 1076998: Mitchell, Andres and William share �385.
The ratio of the amount of money Mitchell gets to the amount of money William gets is 2 : 5.
Mitchell gets �105 less than William gets.
What percentage of the �385 does Andres get?
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The difference between 2 and 5 is 3
105/3=35
Therefore, 35 times this ratio will be a difference of 105 pounds or 70:175 pounds; that is a total of 245 pounds.
385-245=140 pounds left for Andres
140/385=36.4% (4/11)
