Question 890860: Misty and Britni divide their earnings from a fundraising drive between their two favourite charities in the ratio 4 : 5. If they raised $450 altogether, what is the difference between the amounts given to the two charities? Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4:5 means you'll be dividing by 9
450/9 = $50 per part
4*50:5*50
200:250
The first charity received $200 and the second received $250
