K = Kofi's money
A = Amazon's money
They have a total of 4200 GH$.
This means:
K + A = 4200
Shared GH$ in the ratio 2:1 means:
K / A = 2 : 1
K / A = 2
Multiply both sides by A
K = 2 A
Put this value in equation
K + A = 4200
2 A + A = 4200
3 A = 4200
A = 4200 / 3 = 1400
K = 2 A = 2 • 1400 = 2800
Check result:
K + A = 2800 + 1400 = 4200
K / A = 2800 / 1400 = 1400 • 2 / 1400 • 1
K / A = 2 = 2 :1
A = Amazon's money
