A certain amount of money is shared in a ratio 2:3:9. If the difference between the first and second shares is $40, then the amount of money shared is m?

The amount of money shared is 360

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A certain amount of money is shared in a ratio 2:3:9.

Let x be the ratio

So, Shares of amount = 2x,3x and 9x

We are given that the difference between the first and second shares is $40

So, Shares are :

2x=2(40)=80

3x=3(40)=120

4x=4(40)=160

So,Total amount = 80+120+160=360

Hence the amount of money shared is 360

We can define power as the rate of doing work, it is the work done in unit time. The SI unit of power is Watt (W) which is joules per second (J/s).
