Carly and James share some money in the ratio 5 : 3 Carly gets £70 more than James.
Work out how much money James gets.

£42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money they share be x

Hence, 5:3 in the ratio Carly and James

Meaning Carly gets 5/ (5+3) × x = 5/8 x

But 5/8 x= £70

Meaning x = £70 × 8/5 = £112

But James gets 3/8 × x = 3/8 × £112

= £42
