1 answer

To determine how much Dylan and Wayne contributed, we'll first understand the ratio 3:5.

  1. Total Parts: The total number of parts in the ratio is \(3 + 5 = 8\).

  2. Value of Each Part: \[ \text{Value of each part} = \frac{\text{Total Contribution}}{\text{Total Parts}} = \frac{40000}{8} = 5000 \]

  3. Dylan's Contribution: \[ \text{Dylan's Contribution} = 3 \times 5000 = 15000 \]

  4. Wayne's Contribution: \[ \text{Wayne's Contribution} = 5 \times 5000 = 25000 \]

  5. Difference in Contributions: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Wayne's Contribution} - \text{Dylan's Contribution} = 25000 - 15000 = 10000 \]

So, Dylan contributed 15,000 and Wayne contributed 25,000. Wayne contributed 10,000 more than Dylan.
