Answer:Bill gets £171
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Money shared = £399
The ratio of the amount Ann gets to bill gets is 2:9 Chloe and Dave get 2.5 times the amount Ann gets can be written as
Ann : Bill : Chloe : Dave
2 : 9 : 2.5 x Ann : 2.5 x Ann
Let the amount of money
Ann gets be x
so that Bill gets 4.5x
Chloe = 2.5x
Dave = 2.5x
So that the expression to calculate each amount gooten will be
x + 4.5x + 2.5x + 2.5x = 399
10.5x = 399
x = 399/10.5
x=38
Therefore, Ann gets = £38
Bill gets =4.5 x= 4.5 x £38 = £171
Chloe gets=2.5x =2.5 x £38 = £95
Dave gets=2.5x =2.5 x £38 = £95
