GPT 3.5
To increase R2500 in the ratio 3/5, we first need to find the total parts in the ratio which is 3 + 5 = 8.
Next, we need to determine how much each part is worth by dividing R2500 by the total parts: R2500 / 8 = R312.50 per part.
To increase R2500 in the ratio 3/5, we need to increase the value of the 3 parts by 3 x R312.50 = R937.50 and the value of the 5 parts by 5 x R312.50 = R1562.50.
Therefore, the new amounts in the ratio 3/5 would be R2500 + R937.50 = R3437.50 for the 3 parts and R2500 + R1562.50 = R4062.50 for the 5 parts.
