John, Bala and Hamid shared a sum of money in the ratio 2 : 3 : 11.
John has 2x
Bala has 3x
Hamid has 11x
------------------
i) If Bala received $ 2.50 more than John, how much is the sum of money?
3x = 2x+2.5
x = 2.5
--
Total money = 16x = 16*2.5 = $40
=========================================
ii) Hamid gave $5 to John. Find the ratio of Johns share to Bala’s share.
Then John has 2x+5
Ratio of John to Bala = (2x+5)/3x
