Question 1206343
<font color=black size=3>
x = some positive real number
12x = amount Dorcas gets
15x = amount her brother gets


12x+15x = 450
27x = 450
x = 450/27
x = (9*50)/(9*3)
x = 50/3


Dorcas = 12x = 12*(50/3) = <font color=red>R200</font>
Brother = 15x = 15*(50/3) = <font color=red>R250</font>
