<PRE><B>Question 91296</B>
Ed and Dave are going to divide a cash prize of $14,000 in a ratio of 2 to 5. How much will Dave receive? 
--------------
2 to 5 is the same as 2x to 5x
Ed has 2x; Dave has 5x
EQUATION:
2x+5x = 14000
7x = 14000
x=2000
Ed has 2x= $4000
Dave has 5x= $10000
==========
