How much money does john get if David and John share $ 455 in the ratio 2:3 respectively?

To figure what share each person will get you have to do the following: Add the 2 parts of the ratio 2 + 3 = 5. Divide the total funds by 5 - Then Dave gets 2 parts and John gets 3 parts 2 parts 2 x 91 = 182 - 3 parts 3 x 91 = 273 - So Dave gets 182 and John gets 273 and when totaled = 455

2+3=5

3/5 x455 =273

that is the answer for the question
