Answer: £29.40
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction for each one one of them based on the ratio will be:
Paul = 2/(2+5+1) = 2/8
Colin = 5/(2+5+1) = 5/8
Brian = 1/(2+5+1) = 1/8
Amount gotten by each person will be:
Paul = 2/8 × £78.40 = £19.60
Colin = 5/8 × £78.40 = £49.00
Brian = 1/8 × £78.40 = £9.80
The amount that Colin get over Paul will be:
= £49.00 - £19.60
= £29.40
