Chelsea and Jennifer decide to open a fitness center. They need to invest $125,000 to start the business. They invest in a 2:3 ratio, respectively. How much did Jennifer invest? Someone Please Help me !

Respuesta :

The first thing we need to know is that the Jennifer-Chelsea ratio is as follows:
 3: 2
 Equivalently:
 3/2
 To know how much Jennifer invests, we have to:
 (3 / (2 + 3)) = x / 125000
 Clearing x:
 x = 125000 * (3 / (2 + 3)) = 75000
 answer
 Jennifer invest 75000 $
