Question

Angu and wangu shared some money in ratio 2:5.Angu's share was P420
How much was wangu's share

Answer 1

Let the total amount of money shared be x.

According to the given ratio, Angu's share is 2 parts and Wangu's share is 5 parts.

So, Angu's share = (2/7) * x = P420
(2/7) * x = P420
2x = 7*P420
2x = P2940
x = P2940 / 2
x = P1470

Therefore, Wangu's share = 5 parts out of 7 parts = (5/7) * x = (5/7) * P1470
Wangu's share = P1050

So, Wangu's share was P1050.
