Let the total cost of the meal be = x

Let Emily pays the smaller ratio or amount.

Emily's dad pays = 52.20

Emily and her dad share in the ratio = $\frac{2}{3}$ or 2:3

The given ratio means that Emily pays $\frac{2}{2+3}= \frac{2}{5}$ of the total and dad pays $\frac{3}{2+3}= \frac{3}{5}$ of the total.

As dad paid 52.20 so,

$(\frac{3}{5})*x=52.20$

3x=261

x=87

Hence, total cost of the meal is £87 and Emily's share is £34.80
