You are working as an apprentice for the bksb Newcastle Arena. When bands play at the arena the money made from ticket sales is split in an agreed ratio. When Phillip Cage played, £21,000 was split at a ratio of 2:5 between the arena and Phillip Cage. How much money did the arena make from Phillip Cage’s concert?

Respuesta :

2x + 5x = 21000
7x = 21000
x = 21000/7
x = 3000

That means the money was split up


2 * 3000 = 6000
5 * 3000 = 15000

The arena got the 2 part of the ratio.
The arena got 6000 pounds. I don't have that L on my keyboard.
