Dan and Paul share some money in the ratio 9:5. Dan decides this is unfair so he gives Paul £26 of his share to make the ratio 1:1. How much did Paul originally have?
Hint: Try to set up an equation.
Solution: To start off, we have 9x−26=5x+26. 4x=52,x=13 and plug it back at 5x to get your answer.
Should be 13∗5=65.
