The resistors in parallel have a combined resistance R given by the formula
1/R = 1/59 + 1/116 = 0.02557
R = 39.1 ohms
Total circuit resistance = 15.0 + 39.1 = 54.1 ohms
39.1/54.1 is the fraction of the circuit voltage that is applied to the 116 ohm resistor.
Take it from there
1/R = 1/59 + 1/116 = 0.02557
R = 39.1 ohms
Total circuit resistance = 15.0 + 39.1 = 54.1 ohms
39.1/54.1 is the fraction of the circuit voltage that is applied to the 116 ohm resistor.
