Todd Gunderson went into a partnership with two of his friends. Manny and Jose, to share a route delivering newspapers. Manny owns 1/4 of the partnership, while Jose has a 1/5 interest. If the partnership's monthly revenue amounts to $765, how much of that is Todd's? Round to the nearest cent.

Respuesta :

To solve you must find how much of the route todd has and multiply that by the total revenue.

Todd + Manny + Jose = 1

X + 1/4 + 1/5 = 1 

Change fractions to decimals for easier solving

x +.25 +.20 = 1

combine like terms

x+ .45 = 1

Subtract .45 from both sides

x=.55 

todd has 55% of the shares

Revinue * Todd's Percent = Todd's Shares
765*.55 = 420.75
