Answer:

£84.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio = 2:5:6

Amount that Louis got from the total amount = £39

Step 1: Add the ratio together

2+5+6=13

Step 2: covert the given ratio into fraction

George ratio=2/13

Charlotte ratio=5/13

Louis ratio= 6/13

✓LET THE AMOUNT THAT WAS SHARED AMONG THEM= Y

But we know that Louis got £39, then we can compute How much did they shared using "Louiz" shrare as

Louis ratio= 6/13 × Y= £39

= 6Y/13 = 39

Cross multiply

13×39= 6Y

507= 6Y

Y= 84.5

Hence, the amount they shared was £84.5
