Question 1077652: John peter and mary are shared with a sum of money in a ratio of 2:4:9. John and peter together received a sum of $360. How much money in all was shared

2:4 together equaled $360, so 2x:4x=360, where x is the multiplier
Add them and divide into 360. x=60
120:240
9 would become $540.
The total is $120+$240+$540=$900
