A Year 9 competitive examination question

43 Views Asked by At

Hi this is my first time posting a question here. I came across this question in a competitive examination and couldn’t solve it:

£280 is shared among 3 children based on ratio of age

Beatrice turns x years old on Monday

Charlie turns y years old on Tuesday

Ava turns z years old on Wednesday

If money is given out on Monday, Charlie gets twice the money of Ava If Tuesday, Charlie gets thrice the money of Beatrice If Wednesday, Beatrice receives £50

Parents give out money on Thursday, calculate money received by Ava

Please ask if you need any clarifications. Thanks in advance
