The ratio of joe money to sam money is 3:11 . If joe have 33 dollars how much money do both have together

Sagot :

[tex]3x=33\\ x=11\\ 11x=121 \leftarrow \hbox{ Sam's money}\\\\ 33+121=\boxed{154 } \leftarrow \hbox{ this much they have together}[/tex]
Ok so the ratio from Joe to Sam is 3:11
Joe = 3x while Sam = 11x
So if Joe = 3x = 33 then 3x = 33 and we use the Division POE (Property of Equality) and divide in both sides by 3. 3x/3 = 33/3, x = 11

Now that we know x = 11 we can use it for Sam, 11 x 11 = 121, Sam has 121 and Joe 33

The Question is how much they have in total so we add them, 121 + 33 = 154, *154 is the answer* ;)
