Answer:
Monetary Example
$36 of $162 cheque is 2:7
$126 of $162 cheque is 7:2
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the 'parts' of the ratio = 7 + 2 = 9
Of which A pays 7 of the parts and B, 2 of the parts.
Since A pays 7 parts then 1 part = $126 ÷ 7 = $18
Hence 2parts
=2×$18=$36
Thus B pays $36
As a check : Total paid = $126 + $36 = $162
and $162 ÷ 9 = $18
