Answer:
Colin got £126
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we want to know how much Colin got from the sharing.
We can collapse the ratio to mean;
Colin : Caroline + Sarah
= 9:1 + 1 = 9:2
So total ratio is 9 + 2 = 11
If Caroline and Sarah got £28 we need to find the total money shared
Let the total money shared be £x
Thus;
2/11 * x = 28
2x = 11 * 28
x = (11 * 28)/2
x = 11 * 14 = £154
So the amount of money Colin got would be;
£154 - £28 = £126
