Answer 1

Answer:

Paula get $\ 144$ and Kawai get $\ 168$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Paula and Kawai shared $\ 312$ in the ratio of $6:7$.

To find: How much money  did each person get?

Solution:

We have,

Paula and Kawai shared $\ 312$ in the ratio of $6:7$.

So, let Paula get $\ 6x$ and Kawai get $\ 7x$.

As per the question,

$6x+7x=312$

$\implies13x=312$

$\implies x=\frac{312}{13} =24$

Therefore, Paula get $6\times 24=\ 144$, and Kawai get $7\times 24=\ 168$.

Hence, Paula get $\ 144$ and Kawai get $\ 168$.
