A sum of money is divided between Raymond and Roland in the ratio of 3:5.
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the multiplier, then
\n" ); document.write( "3x = Ray's $
\n" ); document.write( "5x = Rol's $
\n" ); document.write( "\" Roland gets $300 more than Raymond.\"
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 3x + 300
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 3x = 300
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 300
\n" ); document.write( "x = 300/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 150 is the multiplier, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "3(150) = $450 for Ray
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "5(150) = $750 for Rol
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "What is the sum of money divided between them?
\n" ); document.write( "450 + 750 = $1200 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
