Emma and Gavin both worked at a pizza place. The ratio of money they earned in tips was 2:3. If Emma earned $40, how much did they make altogether? Thanks for helping me!

Answer 1

2:3 = 2 parts: 3 parts
This means that there is a total of 5 parts. Emma's money is equivalent to two parts, so that means that $20 is the amount for one part. Now that you have the money for one part, multiply that by five and you have your answer.

Answer 2

Wow thx for quick responding! ت

Answer 3

Gavin: $X.
Emma:$2x/3.
2x/3 = 40
X = 60.

2x/3 + x = 40+60 = $100.
