Given the ratio 4:5, let Blessing's share be 4x and Andrew's share be 5x.
That's one standard way to start solving a problem when a ratio is given.
Then the difference between their shares is 5x-4x = x.
But the difference in their shares was $5000; so x=$5000.
Then Andrew's share was 5x = $25,000 and Blessing's share was 4x = $20,000.
ANSWER: Blessing's share was $20,000.
