Question 826216: Please help me solve this problem;
Joy and her brother bought a new TV set worth 8 289 pesos. If they a g reed to divide the cost in the ratio5:4 how much will each of them pay? Answer by Seutip(231) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5x - be the amount payed by Joy
4x - be the amount payed by her brother
5x + 4x = 8289
9x = 8289
x = 921
5x = 5(921) = 4605
4x = 4(921) = 3684
Joy payed 4605
and her brother payed 3684
HOPE THAT HELPS!
