2 of 6 Gavin & Henry share a lottery win of £8800 in the ratio 4: 1.
Gavin then shares his part between himself, his wife & their son in the ratio 1:6:3.
How much more does his wife get over their son?

£2112

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Gavin's share, sum the parts of the ratio, 4 + 1 = 5 parts

Divide the win by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

£8800 ÷ 5 = £1760 ← value of 1 part of ratio, thus

4 parts = 4 × £1760 = £7040 ← Gavin's share

Now repeat the process with the ratio for his family

1 + 6 + 3 = 10 parts

£7040 ÷ 10 = £704 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

6 × £704 = £4224 ← wife's share

3 × £704 = £2112 ← son's share

Difference = £4224 - £2112 = £2112

Thus his wife gets £2112 more than the son
