The sum is divided on = 2 + 5 = 7 parts
p = One part
2 p + 5 p = $ 350
7 p = $ 350
p = $ 350 / 7
p = $ 50
2 p = 100$
5 p = 250$
The smaller portion is 2 p = $100
Check results:
2 p / 5 p = 100 / 250 = 50 ∙ 2 / 50 ∙ 5 = 2 / 5
p = One part
2 p + 5 p = $ 350
7 p = $ 350
p = $ 350 / 7
p = $ 50
2 p = 100$
5 p = 250$
The smaller portion is 2 p = $100
Check results:
2 p / 5 p = 100 / 250 = 50 ∙ 2 / 50 ∙ 5 = 2 / 5
