You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sum of money is shared among three friends, Ann, Beryl and Candy in ratio 2:3:8. If beryl received $225 more than Ann, find the sum of money shared.
--------
Ann = 2x
Beryl = 3x
Candy = 8x
------------------
Equation:
3x = 2x+225
x = 225
----
Sum = 13x = 13*225 = $2925
