Paul, Colin and Brian are waiters.
One night the restaurant earns tips totalling £71.10.
They share the tips in the ratio 2:3:4.
How much more does Colin get over Paul?
Let x-------------------> Paul earns tips y-------------------> Colin earns tips z-------------------> Brian earns tips we know that x+y+z=£71.10 and the ratio is 2:3:4 therefore x/y=2/3 x/z=2/4 y/z=3/4
the question is How much more does Colin get over Paul? Colin------> y Paul-------> x y/x=3/2----------> y=x*(3/2)--------> y=1.5x--------> Colin=1.5 Paul
