Dividing £300 in ratio 3:7.
First add the ratio: 3+7 = 10. So in all there should be 10 parts.
For the value of 3, the share would be = 3/10 * 300 = 90
For the value of 7, the share would be = 7/10 * 300 = 210
Therefore in the ratio of 3: 7 = £90 and £210.
Cheers.
To divide £300 in a ratio of 3:7, we calculate the total parts (10), find the value of each part (£30), and then distribute the amounts accordingly: £90 and £210.
