Roshel and Nora have $328. Cindy and Roshel have $344. The ratio of Nora to Cindy is 4 : 5. How much does Roshel have?
Amount that Nora has = 4 u
Amount that Cindy has = 5 u
The amount that Roshel has is the repeated identity.
Roshel + 4 u = 328 --- (1)
Roshel + 5 u = 344 --- (2)
(2) - (1)
5 u - 4 u = 344 - 328
1 u = 16
From (1):
Roshel + 4 u = 328
Roshel + 4 x 16 = 328
Roshel + 64 = 328
Amount that Roshel has
= 328 - 64
= $264
Answer(s): $264
